Our tax services experts

Corporate Tax

We provide comprehensive support to medium-sized companies in all tax matters, from the formation (or acquisition) of a company to a possible sale or liquidation. When designing tax-efficient structures, we pay particular attention to the interests of the shareholders.

Our range of services includes routine topics such as the preparation of tax returns and tax declaration advice, but also special topics such as reorganisations (transformations), cross-border issues and M&A topics. Our comprehensive knowledge of your company enables us to provide efficient and tax-optimised advice. Finally, you benefit from a highly experienced and assertive partner when it comes to tax audits.

Real Estate

Under German tax law, there are attractive options for reducing the tax burden on property assets. In addition to financing aspects, the question frequently arises as to whether properties should be held as private assets or through the intermediate organisation of a commercial partnership or corporation. We advise you on the design of tax-efficient property structures, the acquisition of properties and the reorganisation of your property portfolio. Our focus is on minimising real estate transfer tax, VAT, inheritance and gift tax as well as income tax.

M&A

We have many years of experience as tax transaction advisors. We will be on hand to advise you on company sales, acquisitions, restructurings, tax-efficient financing and employee share ownership programmes (ESOP and VSOP). Transaction experience, support for a large number of tax audits following transactions and special expertise in all valuation issues form the basis for efficient and successful advice. The focus is on avoiding or minimising tax risks and developing tax-optimised transaction structures.

Private Clients

We provide comprehensive support to entrepreneurs, freelancers, managers and wealthy private individuals and their families in all tax matters. Our range of services extends from tax declarations (income tax, inheritance and gift tax) to asserting interests vis-à-vis the tax authorities and answering all tax and related questions. We will be there to assist you with the tax optimisation of your asset structure and investments and with the establishment of tax-efficient succession solutions. Long-term continuity of advice and the broadest possible overview of your entire financial circumstances lead to the best possible advisory results.
