The search results provide excellent detail on "Gewerbebetrieb" from various German legal and tax perspectives, and its distinction from "Freiberufler". I have the necessary information for all sections and can proceed with writing the article.
Here's the plan for citations:
- Definition: Use snippets from JuraForum67, 68, Förderland,66 and Wikipedia for the core characteristics and legal basis.
- History: Refer to Gewerbeordnung (GewO) 61, 62, 63, 64, 65and Handelsgesetzbuch (HGB) 56, 57, 58, 59, 60as foundational laws.
- Practical Applications: Cite Bundesfinanzministerium (BFM) for trade tax [External Link 3] and firma.de/AllAboutBerlin for tax implications.53, 54, 55
- Limitations/Criticisms: Refer to the distinction complexities in IHK 52and Selbststaendig.de 50, 51regarding
Freiberufler
vs.Gewerbebetrieb
.
I will ensure to cite only factual information directly from the snippets and avoid using the domain names in the prose.
