EStG

Abbreviation for Einkommensteuergesetz

In short and in plain language

The EStG is the German law on how the income of people is taxed.

For garden work, it matters mainly because of a tax cut. It covers work by tradespeople and help around the home.

A tax adviser can say how invoices for this should look in each case.

Definition
The EStG is the German Income Tax Act, which governs how the income of individuals is taxed. For garden work it matters mainly because of the tax reduction for tradesman services and household-related services. How invoices should be worded for this is a question for a tax adviser in each case.
