Do I have to file a tax return if I don’t have any sales?
Hello, I registered as self-employed a year ago. As a freelancer, because I wanted to try my hand at music. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time, and as a result, I didn't generate any revenue. Two weeks ago, I received a "reminder to file tax return(s)/documents for tax return" (see image). I've heard that I have to pay taxes if I file a tax return, and if I don't, I don't have to pay any. But that doesn't really make sense, since I haven't generated any revenue…
I don't know whether I should file a tax return or not. I'm afraid of a fine, which is why I'm turning to you. Thanks in advance for reading.
Of course, you have to make a tax return, but you don’t have to pay taxes. A spell word is a tax-free amount.
How high is the tax exemption for the VAT?
If you have not made sales, you will return the prepaid sales tax.
Of course, I could not imagine that someone who knows no sales tax prepayment has a university degree and professional experience in this field. This, however, gives a bad light to the universities.
Why does the unlaid egg really want to be smarter than the chicken?
Unlike you, a university degree and professional experience in this field.
“When you laugh with his redemptions” – there are chickens.
Here is the magic word “to be taxed income” – that has nothing to do with “resolving” (a word that does not exist in this context).
Finally, there are seven types of arrival.
If you stay under the tax exemption with your proceeds, you do not pay income taxes. If you do not make sales, you do not pay VAT. And the links I only indicated so that you have information about the unknown terms. Functional and JilBoe have already explained all this correctly, you can also read their answers once, perhaps the groschen then falls.
To remember:
Of course you need Declaration of origin but that doesn’t mean you have to pay taxes. A magic word Exemption:.
What do you want with your weird links?
The spell is called tax laws.
Of course, there is also the tax exemption for selfemployed persons. https://www.berlin.de/sen/finanzen/press/publications/press release.1277555.php
And you brought the USt into play.
There is also no allowance – and there is nothing to do with the USt.

And, of course, the allowance refers to revenue less expenditure.
Nonsense – VAT is not paid in advance.
What about the allowance now?
You don’t pay taxes because you pay a tax return, but – in the case of income tax – because your income is high enough (keyword basic amount). But the tax office doesn’t know if you don’t give a tax return. In this respect, this statement is also…
… Cheese, because the tax office can’t know you didn’t make any sales. You have to explain this to them by means of a tax return.
If you don’t give a tax return, the tax office will eventually appreciate your tax burden. And not to your advantage. As a self-employed person, you are obliged to make tax returns.
You would then also be advised to inform the tax office that you will give up your freelance activity if you do not in any case earn any sales and that does not (seriously) plan. This is formless. Otherwise, the FA will ask for tax returns next year. And the year after that too.
Yes. Sonnst wtrd Your revenue is estimated by the Office.
Whether you have to pay taxes has nothing to do with giving a tax return or not.
Rather, it depends on whether or not your income to be taxed is below the basic amount (in 2021: €9,744). Due to your income and as an entrepreneur, you are obliged to make tax returns, no matter how high your sales are.
If you don’t, then it can happen that your tax bases are estimated and delay supplements are fixed.
In addition, there is also the possibility of threatening and setting compulsory money.
The FA does not know your sales and profits. That’s why the tax returns. If you don’t have sales, a zero message is enough.
When you register your self-employment, you should already know such a child’s shame.
Of course you have to leave – otherwise you wouldn’t have got a call.
You calculate your loss and give it in the tax return.
You’ll give -0- at the VAT.
