Tax and registration in Germany
VAT in Germany is administered by your local Finanzamt, and it is worth confirming your current obligations there rather than relying on a figure stored in any software — rates and registration thresholds change.
If you are registered, show VAT as a separate line on every waybill and include your VAT ID. If you are not registered, do not add VAT — collecting tax you cannot remit is a compliance problem rather than a formatting choice.
Businesses trading in Germany are normally incorporated or registered through the Handelsregister. Quoting your registration number alongside your VAT ID tends to speed up approval with corporate and government customers, who often will not process a waybill without both.
