How can you benefit from our tax consultancy services for corporate law?

No standard solutions

Irrespective of your company’s legal structure (AG, GmbH or other type of company, you can rest assured that we have the expertise to develop a legally compliant and individual tax-optimizing concept that is tailored to your needs. In doing so, we will consider your specific circumstances, rather than pulling a ready-made concept off the shelf.

Legal certainty

We attach great importance to legal certainty and the sustainability of our tax structuring concepts. We only work with German and European legal company structures and avoid dubious tax havens in the rest of the world. By obtaining a legally binding statement from the tax authorities, we ensure that your tax affairs are dealt with in accordance with all ethical principles and legal provisions.

A wealth of experience

Our extensive expertise in corporate law covers more than 30 different company types, while our long-standing experience allows us to judge reliably which type of company is best suited to the case at hand.

We do not offer the following services

Routine accounting services

We are not the right partner if you are looking for a tax advisor to take care of your routine tax returns or payroll accounting. We focus on complex tax structuring and tax planning (set link to home page) for companies that require highly sophisticated solutions.

Profit below EUR 500,000

Furthermore, we do not provide our services to companies that have less than EUR 500,000 profit. Our concepts are devised for companies with a certain minimum size. For smaller companies, the cost-benefit ratio would be unfavorable.

Providing answers to individual unrelated tax issues

We do not deal with isolated corporate law questions. Instead, our approach is to offer holistic tax structuring and consultancy for companies that wish to implement a long-term tax-optimization project.

Tax consults for corporate law issues: Case study

Situation at the outset

Mr. K. is the sole shareholder and managing director of V-GmbH with approximately 10 employees and profit of about EUR 120,000. Mr. K. wants to keep open the possibility that his daughter may continue running the company, but would also like to consider the option of selling it.

How did we solve the issue?

Mr. K. asked us to plan a new corporate structure for V-GmbH. The main objective of the restructuring was to enable long-term asset accumulation and to achieve the lowest possible tax rate for the current taxes on the company’s profits. Furthermore, the new corporate structure was supposed to allow for the tax-optimized and flexible transfer of the company to either the daughter or a potential buyer.
We set up a holding with two subsidiaries and V-GmbH was transferred to one of these subsidiaries, also a GmbH (limited liability company). The shareholding in V-GmbH was contributed to a holding partnership while maintaining the legal identity of V-GmbH intact.

What advantages does this have?

Tax structuring

By establishing a holding company, the disposal was subject to an effective tax rate of 1.5%.

Transfer into a holding structure

The entire business operations of V-GmbH were transferred to a new subsidiary GmbH.

No waiting period applied to the shares in V-GmbH

It was possible straight away to subsequently contribute this company to the holding partnership.

Interim valuation approach

The enterprise value was taxed at a rate of 1.5% and the enterprise value was determined

Tax exempt distribution potential

We managed to achieve a tax exempt distribution potential of about EUR 1,475,000 by means of shareholder loans.

Subsequent sale of “New V-GmbH”

A sale is subject to a tax rate of 1.5% for corporation tax and trade tax.

Common questions regarding Thomas Breit Tax Services

My consulting services are billed by the hour (Thomas Breit: EUR 580 net/hour, employee: EUR 380 net/hour). The analysis and your objectives will determine which concept is the best fit for your needs. The total cost of implementing this chosen concept will depend on the actual amount of time needed for the implementation. An advance of EUR 20,000 plus statutory VAT is payable when the order is placed (equivalent to the minimum fee). This advance is enough to finance the smallest project. A cost-benefit analysis always comes before concept and implementation.

My fees are generally financed by the tax savings you achieve. The return on investment is between six months and no more than two years.

Additional costs may be incurred for court fees, notary costs and an expert for corporate law, depending on the project.

We can of course work together with your usual partners. Should you need experts, we have a good network of corporate law experts and notaries.

No, we only work on a project basis. We do not offer any financial or payroll accounting as we are highly specialized. In some cases, however, it makes sense for us to prepare your annual financial statements incl. tax returns for the years around the restructuring. We will then return these tasks to your tax consultant and draw attention to the particulars.

No, never. 3,500 cases in 23 years – no slip ups.

Developing a concept can take between three and eighteen months, depending on the project. In rare cases, it may take as many as three years to implement a concept.

Yes and no. We are basically able to answer any questions concerning tax law. However, many of these questions can be answered just as well by other tax consultants with lower hourly rates, which is why we recommend you retain your usual tax consultant for such questions.

My expertise covers every legal aspect of civil law, such as private law, company law, commercial law, international tax law, inheritance law and much more. In a way, you can compare it to a general practitioner who knows about the heart but is not able to perform heart surgery. I am the cardiologist among tax consultants and my specialty lies in providing comprehensive advice that goes beyond tax law itself.
