Consulting for freelancers operating in Germany

You are a freelancer operating in Germany and require consulting services and correspondence in English (expatriates)?

Once you have made your decision to act as a freelancer in Germany, you will require an overview of your individual situation in the German tax and social security system.

You will need to know whether and how you can have turnover tax (VAT) reimbursed, and the costs that can be taken into consideration in respect of setting off against tax.

You have already heard of the term, "bogus self-employment" but are not entirely sure whether it applies to you. To take up your self-employed activity, you require a German tax number as quickly as possible. We file all the applications in respect of your tax matters such that you ultimately have a German tax number and a German VAT identification number. We clarify the matter of bogus self-employment with you and address your special tax matters.

We finally provide support in respect of you honouring your tax obligations, and provide advice on tax and legal matters.
