What is coming
01.01.
E-invoicing required above €800,000 prior-year revenue
Shops · SaaS · Digital
If your 2026 revenue exceeded €800,000, B2B invoices to domestic businesses can no longer be paper or PDF from 1 Jan 2027. Up to €800,000 the transition lasts until end of 2027, consumer invoices are not affected. Check your 2026 revenue and switch to XRechnung or ZUGFeRD.

Amazon AWD: storage fees return
Shops
Storage fees in European AWD warehouses were suspended from 1 Oct to 31 Dec 2026 and apply again from January 2027. Plan inventory before year end and budget the costs. The source is a forum post, not the official fee page.
12.01.
Data Act: no more switching fees
SaaS
Cloud providers (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS) may no longer charge any fees for switching providers from this date, including data export or migration. Remove switching fees from price lists and contracts and update pre-contract information.

BMF letter of 15 Oct 2026 on e-invoicing
Shops · SaaS · Digital
If you could not tell a customer was a business, a missing e-invoice is not objected to, and gross-price e-invoices with line items in an attachment remain allowed until 31 Dec 2027. Document the business check in checkout and adjust gross templates. Research is based on excerpts, read the full letter first.

Discount codes in checkout
Digital · SaaS
Create codes for checkout links, the shop page and subscriptions under Products → Discount codes, as a percentage or fixed amount. For subscriptions, you set how many payments get the discount. The discount appears on each invoice line, and DATEV, OSS and withdrawals use the amount actually paid.
Every task shows why it exists and how to fix it
Everyone
Tasks now state the actual reason with the case details and the recommended next step, with a button straight to the payment, order or product. Under options and consequences, you see what each choice means for the invoice and DATEV.
Preview what your tax advisor sees
Everyone
Under Settings → External access, you can see your tax advisor's actual view with your data before inviting them. Nothing is created or changed in the preview. You can send the invitation right from there.
Agenda export for your tax advisor (beta)
Everyone
If your tax advisor uses Agenda, switch to it at the top of Settings → DATEV. Agenda reads the DATEV format batch through its import assistant. This feature is in beta, so check the first import in a test client.
Kit now knows your account
Everyone
Ask Kit what's open and get open tasks, missing settings and open items with counts and links. Kit only reads, never changes anything, and sees only what your role allows.
Several WooCommerce shops in one project
Shops
Connect another WooCommerce shop in the same project under Connections, and each shop keeps its own orders. Under Settings → Shops, set number range, template, sender name and DATEV cost center per shop. With a single shop, nothing changes.

Who Radar is for

Shops

You sell goods through Shopify, WooCommerce or marketplaces. Radar shows you deadlines, new rules for payment methods and platform changes.

SaaS

You bill subscriptions, often through Stripe. Radar shows you what applies to software, e-invoices to businesses and subscription billing.

Digital products

You sell courses, downloads or memberships. Radar shows you what changes in VAT, withdrawal rights and payment providers.

You do not need a Rechnungskit account. Every item says who it applies to, so you can skip the rest.

What you get

What is coming

Deadlines with their date, and what you need to do by then.

Law & tax

New laws, Finance Ministry letters and court rulings, explained briefly with their source.

From the market

Changes at platforms and payment providers, only when they change something for you.

New in Rechnungskit

The most important new features and what they do for you.

Once a month, in German or English. Rarely there is a short urgent note, when a change cannot wait for the next issue. An empty section is simply left out.

The latest issues

Older issues reflect the state on their date.

How Radar is made

  1. Read the sources

    Radar reads a fixed list: the law gazette, the Finance Ministry, courts, the EU, the platforms themselves and our changelog.

  2. Select and write

    An AI selects by the rules below and writes each item up briefly.

  3. Check automatically

    Every claim is compared with the original source. Whatever cannot be confirmed is dropped.

  4. Send

    The issue goes out early in the month, without a person reading it first.

How the AI selects

An item gets in when

  • It changes what you have to do: a deadline, a new duty, a new rule or a changed fee.
  • It affects shops, SaaS or digital products in Germany, and we can say exactly who.
  • It has been passed or published. Drafts only appear when you need to prepare already.
  • It can be checked at the original source: the law, the Finance Ministry, a court, the EU or the platform itself.

What stays out

  • Funding rounds, personnel moves and trend pieces
  • News about other vendors and their products
  • Figures without a source we can check
  • Anything the original source does not confirm

Radar is written entirely by an AI. It can contain errors or miss something. Check important items at the linked source and talk to your tax advisor before you act on them.
