Tax

Tax law is rarely just about calculations — it is about structure, foresight, and implementation.

We advise companies and private individuals with international tax needs, particularly in connection with cross-border activities, expansion projects, and complex tax matters.

Whether market entry, foreign operations, or international structuring: tax decisions have long-term consequences. We help you manage tax risks and develop sustainable solutions — both domestically and internationally.

In cooperation with DELTAKAP, our integrated tax advisory team, we provide comprehensive, interdisciplinary advice in the field of international tax law.

Key Areas of Advice

International Tax Structuring

How can international activities be structured in a tax-efficient and sustainable way?

International tax structuring requires a deep understanding of both domestic and international tax law, as well as your company’s commercial objectives. We develop robust structures that support growth while minimising risk.

• Structuring of cross-border activities

• Advice on double taxation agreements

• Withholding taxes, transfer pricing, and permanent establishments

• Coordination with foreign advisors and authorities

  
  

Cross-Border Business Activities

How can you maintain tax oversight in international matters?

Cross-border matters are complex and prone to error. We support you in the tax analysis and implementation of domestic activities of foreign companies as well as foreign activities of domestic clients.

• Taxation of international business relationships

• Inbound and outbound structures

• Ongoing tax support for foreign operations

• Coordination with accounting and reporting functions

  
  

Corporate and Asset Structuring

How can structures be designed to be tax-efficient and sustainable in the long term?

A well-designed structure creates clarity, transparency, and planning certainty. We advise entrepreneurs and private individuals on the structuring of companies and assets — both domestically and internationally.

• Holding and participation structures

• Asset structuring in an international context

• Succession and restructuring concepts

• Coordination of tax and corporate law aspects

  
  

Tax Support for Expansion Projects

How can tax planning support your expansion strategy?

Expansion rarely fails because of the idea — it fails because of unclear tax frameworks. We support your international expansion plans from initial planning through to implementation.

• Market entry strategies from a tax perspective

• Support with company formations and business establishments abroad

• Coordination with local advisors and authorities

• Ongoing tax support following market entry

  
  

Tax Risk and Compliance Advisory

How can tax risks be minimised while ensuring compliance?

Tax risks often arise from a lack of structure or insufficient coordination. We help you identify risks at an early stage and ensure tax compliance.

• Identification of tax risks

• Advice on reporting and documentation obligations

• Support during tax audits

• Interface management with legal, finance, and compliance functions

  
  

Our Mandate Focus — Clear Positioning, Clear Advice

We act for clients who want to work with our advice, build on it, and approach tax matters strategically rather than simply “getting them off the table.”

Our advisory strengths are most effective where focus, structure, and order are part of the entrepreneurial reality.

We do not advise on:

• payroll accounting

• trades and craft businesses

• cash-based retail businesses

• gastronomy and hospitality businesses

  
  

  
  

Our Full-Service Approach

Tax law is a matter of interface management: tax law, corporate law, M&A, employment law, and international issues are closely interconnected. Together with DELTAKAP and other trusted partners, we coordinate these interfaces to ensure efficient and consistent implementation.

You benefit from:

• clear and accessible communication

• pragmatic implementation instead of overly theoretical detail

• structured project management

• advice focused on growth, substance, and risk minimisation
