Is my company a small corporation as defined by Section 267 (1) HGB?
Your company is considered a small corporation where it does not exceed two of the three following characteristics on the balance sheet date of two consecutive years.

  • Total assets of EUR 6,000,000
  • Revenue of EUR 12,000,000 in the twelve months prior to the balance sheet date
  • An annual average of fifty employees
     

How do I determine the average number of employees?
Add together the number of people employed as at 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December (including employees that are abroad but not including trainees) and divide this number by four.

My company is reporting a loss on its assets side (Section 268 (3) HGB). Does this decrease total assets for the purposes of Section 267 (1) HGB?
When assessing the size of a corporation, any losses recognized on the assets side are not taken into account with regard to total assets.

I do not have two consecutive balance sheet dates, as my company is newly established. How can I determine the size of the corporation?
If your company is newly established, the first balance sheet data following the new establishment are used as the basis
