Anything over €2,500 needs a written quote first. We write the request in German so the business understands what is being asked.
Living here — Almost everything that goes wrong during a tour arrives the same way: a German letter with a deadline nobody reads. We tell you what it says and what it needs.
Parking signs and bins — Photograph a sign or a piece of packaging. Two small things that produce a fine or a conversation with a neighbor.
Which VAT form for which purchase? — Get it wrong and the tax relief is gone — there is no fixing it afterwards. The €2,500 line is measured on the net price, not on what you hand over.
