Maximum earnings

Question

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have a few questions about my status as a self-employed student.

How much are the flat-rate costs if you opt for this?
Can you still deduct your accounting and/or social security contributions from flat-rate costs?
What is the maximum amount you can earn once the flat-rate expenses have been deducted?
There is a website where you can see your income from both your student hours and your self-employed activity. Do you know exactly what this website is?

Thank you in advance and sorry for all the questions. 🙂

Hello,

I can only speak about the flat-rate expenses, as I am no longer a student. ;)

Flat-rate expenses are possible with a sole proprietor, but they replace all your actual expenses and are based on your gross profit. The flat rate may not amount to more than 30% of that gross profit, with a ceiling of €5,520, and is therefore usually not interesting.

Best wishes and good luck with your other questions!
