Invoice template for freelancers in Germany
A useful template is a required-fields checklist — not a substitute for sequential numbering and audit-ready storage. Download the checklist, then move to structured e-invoices when customers require them.
Last reviewed: October 2026
What’s in the checklist
- Typical § 14 UStG required fields
- Kleinunternehmer (§ 19) note
- Reverse-charge fields for EU B2B
- E-invoice / archive checks

Template vs software
Word/Excel templates leave numbering and archiving to you. For recurring invoices and e-invoices, a workspace is safer — see invoice requirements and the ZUGFeRD generator.
General information only — not legal or tax advice. Tax and e-invoice rules can change; the applicable laws control (e.g. § 19 UStG, § 14 UStG). Confirm with a tax advisor or lawyer if unsure.
