Can students in germany work freelance?

Question

I am in Germany with student visa, I am allowed 90 days per Year to work. I got an offer to do a one time translation and I need to make an invoiceAm I looking for trouble?

Answer 1

working as a freelancer should be possible.

when writing an invoice you should provide following data:

Your name + address

the address of your  customer / client

the invoice date (when your Invoice will be sent)

an invoice number (it has to be consecutively numbered: like 0601, 0602, 0603 or simply 0001, 0002)

a short description of your work

data like working hours or  a list of your expenses or other fees.

an invoice amount  / the total

your account number and bank code

and one important feature if you want to go for sure or your customer asks for it: (an individual) TAX NUMBER

If you won't earn more than around € 16,000 a year you don't need to take VAT / "Umsatzsteuer" (16%)

Some customers want / need your TAX NUMBER on the invoice and some don't.

Ask your customer first.

Sounds complicated but you can always use the same structure.

GOOD LUCK!
