Taxes
Insight into the tax world
Our tax world is extremely complicated. In addition, the pace of changes in tax law is faster than anywhere else.
As soon as companies start doing business abroad, tax rules, tax treaties and often EU law enter the picture. Even with the best intentions it is therefore often very difficult to do the right thing without professional help.

Tax havens?
In this country, it is business which is most confronted with the diverse requirements of our tax laws. And with a mass of different taxes: taxes on profits (two or three different taxes in Germany and possibly others abroad), taxes on sales, employee payroll taxes, various special taxes and perhaps also customs duties. As a law firm specialising in commercial and tax law, we have an overview of the current legal situation.
Avoiding mistakes
Tax loopholes? They do exist but are extremely rare. More important than risky tax saving schemes: A sound legal structure that avoids unnecessary high taxes – and errors that can quickly become expensive.

Professional assistance with criminal tax proceedings
Anyone who finds himself under investigation or about to receive a fine from the tax authorities will not be having the best time. It is usually impossible to tackle these situations without specialist assistance, as they contain hidden traps that only make such matters worse.
De-escalate criminal tax proceedings
Our law firm has been representing clients in criminal tax matters for many years. We have the right experience to bring proceedings – as far as possible – swiftly and quietly to an end and not let them escalate. We also know when and how to slow down tax investigations.
Error-free voluntary declarations
The best prevention against criminal tax proceedings is a voluntary declaration to the tax office, which, however, is subject to complicated rules. Mistakes can make criminal proceedings even more likely. In order to avoid this, we offer support for voluntary declarations in tax matters.

Ticking time bombs in the balance sheet
Are pension provisions in your company's tax and commercial balance sheet drifting further and further apart, and is the age of beneficiaries increasing? Are reinsurance policies not sufficient to cover the amount of actual pension obligations?
Your company's creditworthiness will suffer as a result of this, and sooner or later you will face liquidity problems. An orderly generational change will then become increasingly difficult; without a solution to the problem, selling the company may become impossible.
