Yes, we can help you get your freelancer Tax ID!
Vivid has partnered with Norman, a digital platform that helps you obtain your Tax ID for freelancing.
With Norman, freelancers can easily complete their official registration with the Finanzamt, ensuring that their tax forms are filled out correctly and their freelancing activity is properly recognised, which is required to work officially in Germany.
Please note that this feature is only available for our German customers.

Fill in your details in just 10 minutes.

Do I need a separate payment account for freelancing?
Not legally — but it’s highly recommended.
A dedicated account makes bookkeeping easier, keeps personal and business finances separate, and simplifies tax reporting.
With Vivid Business, you get an account designed specifically for freelancers.
