Freelancers renewing a German residence permit may be asked for income and expense evidence, not just turnover. A Nettogewinnermittlung presents supported revenue, deductible expenses and net profit for the requested period. Requirements vary by permit, authority and case; the competent authority decides what it accepts.

Defined German visa and residence-permit legal matters, including representation where appropriate, may be handled by licensed lawyers on the TWO.TAX team under a separate legal engagement. Legal representation is distinct from preparing financial documents. The responsible lawyer, scope and deadlines are confirmed in writing; timing and application outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
A net-profit statement presents revenue, deductible business expenses and net profit. Depending on the request and available records, agreed work may also include current-year figures, a prior-year comparison, a documented projection or an English-language summary. Figures are prepared from available records, and differences in periods or tax treatment may need explanation.
Start with the authority's written request and appointment date, invoices, bank statements, expense records and prior returns or assessments. For example, with only six months of activity, current-year figures and evidence for a proposed projection may be more useful than an unsupported annual total. The Berlin service portal gives official examples of self-employment residence-permit requirements; other permits and authorities may differ. Contact TWO.TAX to agree the document scope.
