Thank you for your business. The Word file is fully editable: add or remove line items and delete the tax row if you are tax-exempt.
One editable layout for your country. Fill the placeholders, add or remove line items, adjust or delete the tax row if you are exempt, then export a PDF. Header and footer stay on every page if the invoice runs long.
From 2025, many German B2B invoices must be structured electronic invoices (ZUGFeRD or XRechnung). A Word or PDF file alone is often not enough when structured e-invoicing is required. Use dedicated e-invoicing software for those cases. After you issue or receive invoices, KontoMatch helps with OCR and bank matching for bookkeeping.
This preview is a sample guide for layout only, not a finished invoice. Download the Word file, replace every placeholder with your own details, set the correct tax treatment and totals yourself, then export a PDF before you send it.
In Germany and Austria, private households can claim tax write-offs for local home services. However, this is only allowed if the labor costs (Arbeitskosten/Fahrtkosten) and material costs (Materialanteil) are listed as separate line items.
Furthermore, the client must pay the invoice via bank transfer. Cash payments (Barzahlung) disqualify the client from these tax benefits. Use separate line items in the Word template for labor vs materials.
Craftsmen lose hours matching incoming material receipts to job invoices. KontoMatch matches your materials and client bank transfers automatically.
