Tax consulting

The scope of our tax advisory services covers the answering of general as well as specific taxation issues and professional advice including the gathering of background information relating to specific transactions, participation in meetings and negotiations and taking of notes. In addition to special tax law questions, we also assist our clients by answering any questions arising in everyday business. Our firm handles all tax advisory requests as individual projects. We inform our clients in advance of the expected time requirement of the project and, always considering our clients’ needs, the expected date of completion of our advice. An integral part of our tax advisory services is the meeting or conference call with our client following the submission of our written advice to discuss the elements of the advice in detail.

Our tax group informs clients on current tax changes and new legal interpretations of the tax authority in regular newsletters. We believe that in the future, timely information on additional tax obligations will play an important role in the clarification of our clients’ financial plans and their tax optimization efforts.
