XMS Rechnung is simple online invoicing software for tradespeople, self-employed professionals, freelancers and small businesses in Germany. You use it to create quotes, invoices, cancellation invoices and payment reminders, manage customers and items, generate e-invoices (E-Rechnung, in the ZUGFeRD and XRechnung formats) and hand your tax advisor (Steuerberater) a ready-made DATEV package every month.
The first 30 days are free. After registering, you choose the subscription in the subscription section of the app and add a payment method. Nothing is charged during the 30 days. If you cancel before the trial ends, you pay nothing at all.
Since 1 January 2025, all businesses in Germany must be able to receive e-invoices (E-Rechnungen) from other businesses. Transitional periods apply to issuing them: from 2027, businesses with more than €800,000 in turnover in the previous year must issue e-invoices in the B2B sector, and from 2028 generally all businesses. Kleinunternehmer under § 19 UStG are exempt from issuing them. A simple PDF file will then no longer count as an e-invoice.
Yes. Every issued invoice is automatically generated as a ZUGFeRD invoice: a PDF/A-3 with the machine-readable invoice data embedded in accordance with the European standard EN 16931. Your customer can open the file as a PDF as usual, and their accounting software reads the data automatically. In addition, you can download any invoice as a pure XRechnung (XML).
Under “Export” you select the month and download a ZIP package. It contains the DATEV posting batch, an outgoing invoice register for Excel and all invoices of the month as PDF and XML. You simply send this package to your tax advisor (Steuerberater) – the postings can be imported directly into DATEV.
In XMS Rechnung, go to the subscription section and choose to manage your subscription. This opens Stripe’s customer portal, where you can cancel, change your payment method or download your invoices in just a few clicks. Alternatively, an email to support@xmsrechnung.de is sufficient.
Your data is stored in data centres in the European Union in Frankfurt am Main. All connections are encrypted (HTTPS/TLS).
