Small Business §19 UStG

About the Extension
Why this plugin?
As a small business owner under German §19 UStG, you must not show VAT — neither on invoices nor on prices in your shop. Shopware does not provide a ready-made solution for this. This plugin fills that gap: It disables VAT calculation, adjusts all price displays, and ensures your invoices meet legal requirements.
Key Features
- One-click activation — Enable the small business regulation with a single toggle
- Product migration — Automatically convert all product prices to 0% VAT (admin button or CLI command)
- Legally compliant documents — Invoices, cancellations, and credit notes with mandatory §19 UStG notice
- Adjusted price display — "Price without VAT acc. §19 UStG" instead of "incl. VAT"
- Configurable texts — Customize notice texts for invoices and prices
- Sales channel-specific — Override settings per sales channel
- Reverse migration — Switch back to regular taxation at any time
How it works
After installation, activate the small business regulation in the plugin configuration. Then migrate your products to the 0% tax rate — either via the admin button or CLI command for large shops.
The plugin automatically adjusts:
- Price displays on product pages, listings, and cart
- Tax calculation at checkout (0% VAT)
- PDF documents (invoice, cancellation, credit note) with mandatory notice
Product Migration
The plugin offers two ways to convert your product prices:
- Admin button — Shows current migration status and migrates all products with one click
- CLI command — For large shops or automated processes, including dry-run mode and reverse migration
During migration, the previous net price becomes the new end price. Reverse migration back to regular taxation is possible at any time.
Important Notes
- The small business regulation always applies to the entire shop — product-specific tax exemption is not legally possible
- Email templates need to be adjusted manually (instructions provided in the documentation)
- Existing orders remain unchanged when the regulation is activated
- This plugin does not replace professional tax advice — consult your tax advisor when in doubt
