The short answer: Gardeners and landscaping contractors create invoices with all mandatory details with Solobuch with strict separation of labor, machinery, and material costs – maximizing tax benefits for clients.
For garden maintenance, landscaping, paving, and tree care, correct invoice formatting provides a major competitive edge: Private customers in Germany can deduct 20% of artisan labor, travel, and machinery expenses (up to €1,200 per year pursuant to § 35a para. 3 EStG) or household garden maintenance (up to €4,000 under § 35a para. 2 EStG) directly from their income tax. Crucial requirement: Labor, disposal, and equipment costs must be strictly separated from plant and bulk material costs, and payment must be made cashless via bank transfer. For commercial landscaping projects and public tenders, Solobuch also generates standard-compliant XRechnung and ZUGFeRD e-invoices automatically. Create your invoices quickly, error-free and in a professional design with the Solobuch online generator.
