What the e-invoice can do

Sequential invoice numbers

Fewosoft automatically assigns gapless, ascending invoice numbers – correct for tax purposes and with no manual upkeep.

Custom line items

Add extra line items – tourist tax, bed linen, parking fees – each with the correct tax rate.

Export for your tax advisor

Export all invoices for a period as a ZIP with PDFs and XML files – ready to forward to DATEV or your tax advisor.

What goes into every e-invoice

ZUGFeRD is the German standard format for electronic invoices – a PDF with embedded, machine-readable XML data. Your guests can still open it like any ordinary PDF.

  • PDF/A-3 with embedded XML file (EN 16931 compliant)
  • All mandatory details under Section 14 of the German VAT Act (§ 14 UStG) filled in automatically
  • Correct tax rates: 7% (accommodation), 19% (cleaning)
  • EPC QR code for direct scan-to-pay transfers via banking app
  • Invoice number, date and service period assigned automatically
ZUGFeRD 2.1The current German standard format – compatible with all accounting software such as DATEV, Lexoffice and sevDesk.
Scan-to-pay with a QR codeGuests scan the EPC QR code with their banking app – all payment details are pre-filled, with no typos.
Automatic VAT calculationAccommodation at 7%, ancillary services at 19% – Fewosoft calculates correctly and itemizes them separately.
