Frequently asked questions

What must an invoice contain?

In Austria (§ 11 UStG): your name and address and the recipient’s, quantity and name of the goods or type and scope of the service, the date or period of supply, net amount, VAT rate and VAT amount, issue date, a sequential number and your VAT ID — above €10,000 to a business also the recipient’s VAT ID. Up to €400 gross, a simplified invoice without recipient, number and VAT ID is enough. Germany (§ 14 UStG) is almost the same; the tax number can replace the VAT ID, and simplified invoices go up to €250 (§ 33 UStDV). The “Check” next to the preview shows what your document still lacks.

I am a small business exempt from VAT — what changes?

You charge no VAT, and the invoice states that the exemption applies. Tick “Small business” under “Your company”: VAT disappears and the note is added — in Austria with reference to § 6 Abs. 1 Z 27 UStG, in Germany to § 19 UStG. The limit is €55,000 turnover a year in Austria since 2025; in Germany €25,000 in the previous year and €100,000 in the current year.

Is this an e-invoice?

No. The tool creates a PDF; an e-invoice is a structured data file (such as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD). In Germany, businesses must be able to receive e-invoices since 1 January 2025. A PDF invoice to another business in Germany needs the recipient’s consent until the end of 2026, or 2027 with a prior-year turnover of €800,000 at most — after that, e-invoices apply. Small amounts up to €250 and small businesses are exempt. In Austria, e-invoices are only required towards federal government offices.

Where are my company details and documents stored?

Only in this browser’s storage on your device — so they are there next time. Another browser or device does not see them. You can delete them at any time: a document with the bin icon in the list, your company details with the bin icon next to “Your company”, everything at once via “Clear site data” in your browser. Keep the downloaded PDFs yourself; the browser is not an archive.

What happens to my data?

Nothing leaves your device. The PDF and the payment QR code are created in your browser; nothing is uploaded, and we see neither your customers nor your amounts.
