SERVICES FOR NONRESIDENT TAXPAYERS

Registration for German tax purposes and initial tax structuring

We will take care of all your registration issues. For example, we will file notice of either your business or branch established in Germany and will prepare the opening / idenfication questionnaire for the fiscal authority in charge. Furthermore, we will apply for your German tax identification number (Steuernummer) aswell as your EC VAT identification number (VAT ID resp. VAT REG).

During this process we will advise you on initial VAT decisions to be made aswell as on basic principles of how to determine your domestic taxable income and how to minimise your German tax leakage. If necessary, we will support you in finding a beneficial way to split your taxable profits between Germany and your home country - based on the double tax treaty / double tax agreement in effect.
