Financial Accounting

The foundation and “heart” of the annual financial statements and the resulting reporting obligations to the tax office is proper bookkeeping.

The basis of fair taxation is the electronic tax return. To take advantage of tax relief, the correct "course" often needs to be set in the tax return.

I offer my clients the following services:

• Recording and posting of receipts
• Preparation of business analysis reports
• Preparation of individual analyses
• Preparation of electronic advance VAT returns and EC sales lists
• Open-item accounting
• Fixed asset accounting

Payroll Accounting

Correct payroll and salary statements are also a "calling card" of my clients towards their employees. Sound knowledge of social security and employment law is essential for this.

I am also available as an advisor here and offer:

• Preparation of payroll and salary statements
• Fulfilment of tax and social security reporting obligations
• Support during external payroll tax audits
• Support during social security audits by the German Pension Insurance
• Support during status determination procedures

Tax Declaration

The basis of fair taxation is the electronic tax return. To take advantage of tax relief, the correct "course" often needs to be set in the tax return.

I support my clients in the preparation of:

• Income tax returns
• Corporate tax returns
• Trade tax returns
• Annual VAT returns
• Assessment declarations
• Inheritance and gift tax returns
• Declarations of “non-profit status”

Annual Financial Statements

The basis of fair taxation is the determination of taxable profit. To take advantage of tax benefits and elective rights, the right decisions need to be made in determining taxable profit.

I support my clients in the preparation of:

• Commercial balance sheet and its publication
• Tax balance sheet as e-balance sheet
• Income surplus statement pursuant to § 4 para. 3 EStG
• Profit determination for non-profit organisations

Tax Disputes / Tax Criminal Law

If the tax office deviates from the tax return during the assessment procedure, or if a tax audit leads to differing assessments, a "dispute" with the tax office can arise. Tax criminal investigations may even be initiated.

I represent, defend and advise my clients:

• during external audits and special VAT audits
• in objection proceedings
• in fiscal court proceedings
• in tax criminal proceedings
• with voluntary disclosure

Tax Structuring

Tax law is of great importance in contract drafting. A lawyer must therefore also appropriately address the tax law questions raised by the respective subject matter of the contract. Conversely, certain tax effects can only be achieved if the civil law basis is correct. The tax advisor must therefore also observe civil law.

I support my clients holistically with contract drafting in the area of:

• Business formation
• Asset succession
• Personnel deployment
