Tax return

Many of our clients do not particularly like the subject of tax returns: they see it as a chore that only distracts them from their day-to-day business and costs them time. However, the complexity of tax law requires a high level of tax expertise to ensure that the tax returns prepared are correct and complete. This is where we are happy to provide comprehensive assistance: our law firm will take care of all standard forms of tax returns and advance returns for you – not only for the various types of companies, associations and foundations, but also for shareholders of companies and members of management bodies.

International tax law

The complexity of German tax law is known, if not infamous, beyond the borders of our country. It becomes even more challenging if your company is also based abroad. This is where a well-functioning network of advisors is required. We have built it up: in cooperation with foreign tax firms and experienced specialists in the relevant local tax law, we solve all tasks without any frictional losses. We remain independent in our choice of partners and can always rely on the best and their expertise. In addition, we have been an independent member of XLNC, an excellent network of global experts, since 2024. This enables us to offer our clients the best possible support in all matters of international tax law.

Group tax law

There is no separate law for the taxation of corporate groups under current German tax law. We show our clients the special opportunities that are available to your company within the framework of a tax group – in terms of corporate, trade and VAT law. We support you in all operational measures relating to group structuring for tax purposes, such as the establishment of holding and support structures. To this end, we take on the review and support of tax-optimized adjustments. The optimization of the group tax rate with the help of profit and loss transfer agreements rounds off our service portfolio for you.
