19% Umsatzsteuer, applied per line
Define a 19% rate once and it applies to every line, with the tax amount and the total shown separately as an invoice requires. Zero-rated and exempt rates sit alongside it for the supplies that need them.
Invoicing in Germany
VAT invoicing software for Germany
Issue German invoices with 19% Umsatzsteuer and your USt-IdNr — in euros, in a workspace your whole team can use.
Built for how Germany businesses actually invoice
A German invoice has requirements generic tools skip: the VAT shown separately, your USt-IdNr or Steuernummer, sequential numbering with no gaps, and records you can still produce years later. Invroot does those as standard, and the tax rate is yours to define rather than a hardcoded assumption that breaks the moment you invoice something reduced-rate.
Records you can hand to an auditor
Every invoice, payment and credit note is kept with its history rather than overwritten, and numbering runs in an unbroken series. Invroot does not certify GoBD compliance for you — that depends on your whole process — but it does not stand in the way of it either.
Priced and paid in euros
Invoice in euros, or in your client's currency when you bill outside the eurozone — any of 140. Each invoice keeps the currency it was issued in, through reports and statements.
Your VAT number on every document
Your VAT number, address and trade name sit on every invoice, quote and receipt, alongside your logo, stamp and signature.
Sequential, gap-free numbering
Numbers are assigned in sequence and never skip. A gap in the numbering series of a VAT-registered business is a question you would rather not be asked.
Payment links and automatic chasing
Every invoice can carry a payment link, and overdue ones are chased on a schedule you set, so following up is not a job someone has to remember.
Germany invoicing questions
19% is the standard rate. You define it in Invroot rather than relying on a hardcoded assumption, so it stays correct if the rate changes and historical invoices keep the total your customer actually paid.
Yes, in the sense that matters: you define your own tax rates, so a small-business exemption simply means no VAT rate is applied and no tax line appears. Add the §19 note to your invoice footer in Settings.
You can set a zero rate for reverse-charge supplies to VAT-registered businesses in other member states and note the customer's VAT number on the invoice. Invroot does not verify VAT numbers against VIES, and does not register or file under the One Stop Shop — that stays with you or your accountant.
No. Invroot is invoicing and receivables software: it produces correct invoices and the reports behind them, but it does not submit returns. Your accountant files; Invroot gives them clean numbers.
