Tax Law

Tax counselling for entrepreneurs and private persons is a major part of our attorneys' and specialists' in tax law in Munich.  In the field of tax law we complement our counselling spectrum for companies, their shareholders and their managing directors with comprehensive tax counselling in operative and private matters.

Attorney and specialist for tax law, Joachim Menz directs this field in Munich together with his team of experienced accountants and assistant tax accountants.

The counselling spectrum covers tax counselling and tax planning of national and international matters. We have a long time experience in the area of  taxation of branches  and deployment of employees regarding cross-boarder matters, especially respective the adjacent countries (Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, France and Czech Republic et. al) as well as with countries with important trade relations (England, US et. al). Over many years we build close contacts to foreign consultants that are very helpful for realization and enforcement of or clients’ interests.
Regarding employees deployed from foreign countries within Germany, we advise foreign companies regarding inland obligations (payroll administration, wage-tax return, registration of social security contribution) and prepare the required income tax returns (limited and unlimited tax liability). Further, we conduct the preparation and issuing of statements of all tax returns (income tax return, corporate income tax return, turnover tax return, trade income tax return, succession tax return, gift tax) and tax notifications (advance return for turnover tax, incl. recapitulative statements, wage-tax return) for companies of all legal forms, including inland daughter companies and branches of foreign companies. For employers we conduct the preparation of payroll accounting in consideration of social insurance matters, including notification of social insurance carriers. In the field of operative tax counselling, we perform the establishment and preparation of the ongoing financial and payroll accounting, preparation of the annual trade and tax statements as well as the preparation of the cash basis accounting (especially for freelancers). If requested by our clients we perform all correspondence with the tax authorities, take care our clients in the event of tax audits of the fiscal authorities and social insurance carriers, and represent our clients in dispute matters with the fiscal authorities (opposition proceedings, legal actions at the finance courts).
