It\u2019s submitted only once and includes everything together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">For Example: Even if you are subject to VAT and your second business is under the Kleinunternehmerregelung (small business owner regulation), you\u2019ll still need to report all income under one income tax declaration. And your VAT under one VAT declaration as well. <\/p>\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">\n<h1 class=\"font-degular\" id=\"h_5c4368df10\">\ud83d\udca1 What should I do if I have 2 or more Steuernummern?<\/h1>\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">Currently, Accountable does not support users with multiple tax numbers in one account.<\/p>\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">That said, you have two options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"font-inter\">\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\"><b>If your second business is small and closely related to your main activity<\/b>: <\/p>\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">We recommend contacting your local Finanzamt and asking to consolidate both activities under one tax number, especially if your second business is limited in scope.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-inter\">\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\"><b>If you need to keep both tax numbers<\/b>: <\/p>\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">You can create an account for each tax number and use it to manage your bookkeeping and submit your E\u00dcR, and if applicable, the trade tax declaration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">\u26a0\ufe0f However, you would need to submit your VAT pre submissions, VAT declaration and income tax declaration separately, for example through Elster.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">\n<hr>\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">Don\u2019t hesitate to contact us whenever you have a question <\/p>\n<p class=\"no-margin font-inter\">at <a href=\"mailto:tax-coach@accountable.eu\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"intercom-content-link font-inter\">tax-coach@accountable.eu<\/a> &#8211; we\u2019re here to help and guide you further. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have 2 or more businesses, each with its own Steuernummer, here\u2019s what you can do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","help_label":[442,505],"class_list":["post-30869","help_center","type-help_center","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>I have 2 or more tax numbers (Steuernummer).
