German Invoice Generator — EUR, USt. Compliant
Germany has strict invoicing requirements defined in the Umsatzsteuergesetz (UStG). Every Rechnung must contain specific Pflichtangaben including your Steuernummer or USt-IdNr, sequential numbering, and proper tax breakdown. Kleinunternehmer using the small business exemption must include a specific reference to §19 UStG. German tax authorities conduct thorough audits, making compliant invoicing essential for Vorsteuerabzug claims. InvoUno helps German businesses create invoices that meet all GoBD requirements for digital record-keeping with proper EUR formatting, 19% or 7% USt calculation, and all mandatory fields.
