When you should contact me?

  • You need a German tax return and need someone, who will provide you with a service in a down-to-earth manner.
  • Your employer has provided you with tax advisory service in the past. Now you are responsible for your German tax return by yourself.
  • You moved to Germany and you have no clue about German tax (and this is not an area that particularly interests you).

 

What can I do for you?

  • Tax return preparation
  • Advise in respect of wage tax classes or wage tax reliefs
  • Advise how to receive German child subsidy (Kindergeld)
  • Communication with German fiscal authorities, other German authorities or with the payroll/HR departement of your company

 

How will I do this?

  • After a meeting to discuss your needs and the circumstances of your personal situation you will provide me with the necessary information and documents based on a questionnaire/checklist/our discussion.
  • I will prepare the tax return and provide you with a draft version. You can get yourself familiar with the document, ask any question or require any corrections. Your approval assumed the return will be filed electronically with the fiscal authorities.
  • Please note: I might carry out the work together with the ETL group office ADVITAX Berlin (Mauerstrasse 86-88, 10117 Berlin-Mitte).
  • If you wish, any questions/letters from fiscal authorities will be directed to me in the first place. Also, I will receive the assessments and will review them. We will discuss the results and I will advise you in case the assessment deviates from the filed return.

 

What will you pay?

I will base my fees on the official fee tables for German tax advisors (Vergütungsverordnung für Steuerberater, Steuerbevollmächtigte und Steuerberatungsgesellschaften (Steuerberatervergütungsverordnung - StBVV) vom 11. Dezember 2012).

The actual fee is based on the complexity of the filed return and the total of the taxable income.

Example:

Preparation of the tax return for an employee with 120,000 gross income, no expenses and no other income; including the review of the first assessment

Fee total: round 250 Euro
