International tax consultancy

Our world is becoming more closely integrated, and cross-border trade is now part of everyday business for many companies and sole proprietors.

As international tax law consultants, we can advise our clients wherever their business takes them. For many years, we have been assisting clients from Poland and Austria in particular, but also clients from other European countries who would like to start doing business as a foreign company in Germany. Conversely, that is, if you are expanding from Germany into international markets, as your tax consultants we would be happy to support you.

It is always important to have a full understanding of complex tax issues. As our client, you will benefit from our in-depth knowledge and experience of national and international tax law.

Every company and every person with cross-border economic interests has to deal with a multitude of tax regulations relating to national and international tax law. Recognizing the opportunities offered by different tax law systems and tax rates while avoiding double taxation is the task of our specially trained international tax law consultants. For many years, we have been assisting clients from Poland and Austria in particular, but also from other European countries. If you would like to start doing business in Germany as a foreign company, we will be at your side. Conversely, that is, if you are expanding from Germany into international markets, you can trust the expertise of our consultants.

Important questions answered in advance

How do I appoint you as my tax consultant?
It's quite simple! You will find our contact form at the bottom of our homepage. There you can send us your contact details and a brief overview of your current situation. We will get in touch with you shortly.
How do I change my tax consultant?
It is easier than you think! You contact us and we advise you when the right time is for you to change to us. We provide you with all the necessary documents for the change and take care of the powers of attorney with the tax office. After consultation, you give notice to your old advisor. We will then contact your old advisor regarding the transfer of data.
When can I change my tax consultant?
Basically at any time. According to § 627 BGB (German Civil Code), the client has the right to terminate the tax consultancy contract at any time if no other individual contractual agreement exists. You need to look at the contract with your tax advisor. If nothing has been agreed, you can terminate the contract at any time without notice.
When is the best time to change tax consultant?
When is the best time to change tax advisors depends individually on the tasks to be carried out and your requirements. We will be happy to advise you on this in the context of a budding business relationship.
What are the costs of a change?
Basically, no costs arise from a change per se. Set-up costs or duplicate work by two consultants in a transition phase may well result in additional costs that would not have been incurred without a change. However, these costs will quickly be amortised through optimised processes.
