For us, taxes are neither a mystery nor a dry subject, but a deeply interpersonal affair that means more than just sending a few letters to the financial authorities and submitting the tax data to the tax office. We follow a holistic approach which goes beyond the aim of saving taxes.
We put our energy into supporting you in the best way possible.
We offer a wide array of services including
- preparation of income tax returns with consideration of the current Double Tax Treaties
- preparation of annual financial statements
- bookkeeping (VAT reports)/(payroll) accounting
- handling any communication with the German tax offices and offering suitable assistance for it
- On-demand assistance in different areas such as inheritance, claiming back German pension contributions, etc.
For our everyday work we use DATEV, a registered cooperative society that is primarily a technical information services provider for tax, accountants and attorneys. It provides software directly to end users (businesses and employees) and consulting services for these occupations. With almost 400,000 members in Germany, it is the most used software for tax consulting.
We are quite flexible with our working hours and work from everywhere – whether home office or office – we try to get back to you within 24 hours – on each way you prefer – personally, email or conference calls such as teams.
For preparing your German income tax return we need the following documents
- Names and date of birth of the whole family
- Tax identification numbers of the whole family
- IBAN for possible refunds from the tax office
- Income before relocation and foreign tax return
- German Lohnsteuerbescheinigung
- Costs for kindergarten/nanny/school for the children
- Donations

- Insurance contributions (health, pension, car, house)
- Costs for keeping the house clean
- Relocation costs and business expenses (if not reimbursed by the company)
- Anything you think could be relevant
- Foreign income
We charge or services based on the Schedule of Fees for Tax Advisors. Our invoice is based on your income and the workload.
