Since 2026, the City of Stuttgart has levied trade tax (Gewerbesteuer) at a multiplier (Hebesatz) of 430%, up from 420% (source: City of Stuttgart). Only commercial businesses pay trade tax, not freelancers under § 18 EStG. Sole proprietorships and partnerships receive a €24,500 allowance on trade income under § 11(1) GewStG. The Hebesatz is applied to the tax base of 3.5% of trade income after the allowance. Example for a sole proprietor in Stuttgart with €50,000 trade income: (€50,000 − €24,500) × 3.5% × 430% = €3,837.75 trade tax.
