Tax Law

Our advice on tax law covers the design of legal arrangements in pursuance of fiscal legislation, support in tax questions during M&A transactions and in the sale and purchase of real property, advice and representation in the pursuit of out-of-court remedies, and the management of proceedings before tax tribunals and criminal proceedings for revenue offences.

Our partners are lawyers and tax advisors and along with advice on pure tax law, via our affiliated firm of MDS MÖHRLE & PARTNER we offer support in the wide field of tax issues as a whole. Besides the provision of tax returns and annual financial statements, accounting services, arrangements for succession and inheritance, and advice on fiscal structuring, this includes almost all consultancy services in every field of German tax law.

Advice on the drafting of legal arrangements in pursuance of fiscal legislation is closely linked with advice on corporate law, including advice on choosing the legal form of a company. We assist our clients in their approach to new markets, including the question of domicile in matters of tax law. When selling or buying companies or real estate, large-scale questions of liability and demarcation regularly arise with respect to tax law, on which we advise regularly and pre-emptively.

We support both clients who are planning capital investments abroad and capital investment by foreign nationals in Germany. Along with aid and assistance for purchase of companies in Germany and abroad, this involves the choice of the company’s legal form, questions of staff secondment, and advice on the application and impact of dual-taxation treaties. We likewise support our clients in questions of sales tax, both in Germany and abroad.

We shall advise and represent you in pursuing out-of-court remedies, in legal proceedings before tax tribunals, at the Federal German Tax Court and the Federal German Constitutional Court. In particular, we provide our clients with support in criminal proceedings for revenue offences.
