A template for invoices up to €250 including VAT, with the simplified particulars of § 33 of the German VAT Implementing Ordinance (UStDV): the supplier's name and address, the date of issue, the quantity and type of goods or services, the total including tax and the tax rate — the customer, an invoice number and the tax number are not required. Small-amount invoices are permanently exempt from the e-invoice duty and may still be issued on paper or in another electronic form, such as a PDF. In German.
Invoice with VAT under § 14 UStG (Germany)
An invoice template with every particular § 14(4) of the German VAT Act (UStG) requires: both parties' names and addresses, tax number or VAT ID, invoice number and date, time of supply, quantity and type of goods or services, net amount, rate, tax and gross amount, plus payment terms and the default notice. On e-invoicing: between businesses in Germany a PDF is enough only until the end of 2026 (with the recipient's consent), and until the end of 2027 at up to €800,000 prior-year turnover; then an e-invoice is compulsory. To consumers a PDF stays allowed. In German.

A small business has turnover of at most €25,000 last year and at most €100,000 this year; in the year it starts trading the limit is €25,000.
