Benefit from our expertise with the posting of employees to Germany

We are your partner when it comes to relocating employees to Germany, whether the assignment lasts for a few days, several months or involves a permanent move. Particularly in the case of long-term assignments, a broad range of labour law issues must be taken into account, which may also require the establishment of an additional employment relationship. At the same time, contracts between foreign and German companies also need to be concluded, German social security regulations must be observed and the labour and tax law situation has to be clarified.

You take care of the placement – we take care of the bureaucracy:

• Employment contracts
• External wage tax audits
• Tax audits
• Value added tax inspections
• Social security audits

Get advice on inheritance and gift tax

Heirs or gift recipients often wonder whether they have to pay inheritance or gift tax – and just as often, we can quickly reassure them because the tax-free allowances in Germany are relatively high. In principle, the tax-free amount depends on the degree of kinship between the testator and the beneficiary. For example, the spouse of the deceased can inherit up to €500,000 tax-free, while children can inherit up to €400,000. And even for friends and other individuals, the tax-free allowance amounts to €20,000. If you have any questions on this topic, please feel free to contact us at any time.

We are experts in the field of international tax law

For large and medium-sized companies, cross-border markets and international business transactions are simply a fact of life. However, there are many issues that you need to be aware of, from the choice of location to the posting of employees or the processes involved in acquiring a foreign company. When it comes to European and global tax law, we have the answers to all your questions.

Be on the safe side from the start when it comes to non-profit status

To be recognised by the German tax authorities as a non-profit corporation under public or private law, a number of requirements must be met. And this involves many different aspects: in the case of non-profit associations, for example, these range from the articles of association to asset management. Whether you are a future managing director or board member of a non-profit organisation, gGmbH, gUG or foundation, we will be happy to advise you.

The strategic restructuring of a company always involves a wide range of considerations under tax, corporate and liability law.

Due to the complexity of the subject, it is generally advisable to use the services of a tax consultant. This is especially true for small businesses and freelancers.

The cost of tax advice for businesses varies depending on turnover, company size and the services required. Our experts will inform you openly and fairly about the costs involved. Let us advise you – together we will find the right solution for your needs.

A tax consultant advises clients on all tax matters. That’s the short version. In reality, the range of tasks is far more varied and essentially comprises three core areas – advice on tax declarations, tax planning and tax enforcement:

1. Advice on tax declarations involves every type of tax return that a client has to submit to the tax authorities, as well as the examination of tax assessments.
2. Planning advice is about optimising tax planning in light of the client’s future objectives.
3. Enforcement advice involves representation of the client before a tax court or the tax authorities.

Under German law, these services may only be performed by tax advisers and lawyers.

In addition to these traditional services, which also include balance sheet preparation, payroll and financial accounting, our tax consultants can advise you on business management issues such as changes in legal form, questions relating to controlling and accounting, liquidity and profitability analysis, investments, start-ups, restructuring, company succession, financial decisions or bankruptcy.
