Our knowledge of the tax regime and optimization options in the field of real estate will effectively reduce your tax burden. We develop customized tax strategies that lead to substantial tax savings.
Having provided tax advice for large real estate portfolios for more than 20 years, we have gained invaluable experience in international tax consultancy as well as tax structuring for German portfolios. We specialize in cross-border situations and are used to working across borders in multiple countries, which makes us your ideal partner in all tax issues surrounding international real estate investments.
We provide our clients access to additional expertise and resources that go beyond pure tax consultancy. When required, we can introduce you to specialized lawyers, notaries or other experts to ensure that you receive comprehensive advice that covers all relevant aspects.
By creating a holding/subsidiary relationship with different legal personalities we can achieve a tax rate of 14% on reinvested or distributed profits on your behalf. These concepts offer effective tax optimization for real estate owners, whether the real estate is owned by a company or private person.
Our tax concepts are suitable for both natural persons and co-ownerships, companies, commercial companies or corporations. We help our clients find solutions and strategies that fit their legal framework conditions.
Paying real estate transfer tax can often be avoided by optimal tax structuring and planning measures. Possible options include using the intra-group transaction clause or company transformation.
We do not provide answers to individual unrelated tax issues
Our tax consultancy specializes in project work, which is why we do not offer advice for individual tax questions in connection with real estate that are not part of a large project. We rather strive to work with our clients over many years to develop long-term tax strategies and tax structuring plans.
Real estate assets below EUR 10 million
We concentrate on advising clients with larger real estate portfolios owned by either companies or private persons. We recommend persons with a real estate portfolio below this threshold to contact another tax consultant who is better suited to meeting your specific needs.
Mr. E. is a physician with a monthly net salary of EUR 4,200. He also owns 86 properties in Germany and 13 in Dubai, which together generate EUR 30,000 per month in rental income. Furthermore, he earns EUR 10,000 per month from mining activities.
The main objective is to reduce his high tax payments of 45%.
Mr. E. founded a UG & Co. KG company which he is the sole owner of. This company manages his real estate and the mining activities. He also founded a subsidiary as a GmbH.
In order to reduce the tax burden, the profit generated from the real estate properties and mining are transferred to the subsidiary as capital reserves. The GmbH then distributes the capital reserves to the UG & Co. KG.
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.
With Thomas Breit Tax Consulting, you receive legally binding tax office information, interdisciplinary expertise from 23 years of experience, and customized, future-proof tax concepts—legally compliant and based on German and European legal forms.
Our tax consultancy office can obtain a legally binding statement from the tax authorities on your behalf. With our help you can rest assured that your tax affairs are handled in compliance with the applicable legal provisions.
23 years of experience, including 17 years as a certified tax consultant and more than 3,500 successful cases, give me the expertise to optimally structure your individual tax situation and advise you on your succession planning.
By combining several legal fields like tax law, corporate law, trade law, inheritance law, family law, law of obligations and many more I draw up customized concepts that are legally sound and tailored to exactly fit your personal needs.
I work exclusively with German and European legal entities that are subject to taxation in Germany in order to ensure that we can optimally use the tax advantages and opportunities that these legal structures offer.
My models are highly flexible and can be easily adapted to accommodate any changes that might occur in the future. They are infallible and guarantee that your tax and legal matters are safe and in order for years to come.

Mr. Breit attaches great importance to finding the optimal structure that is easy to implement on a daily basis, so that he really does stand out from the crowd of “tax administrators”. His proposals are highly sophisticated and thought through to the last little detail.
He succeeds in realizing concepts that last for years because he thinks out of the box. We clearly recommend Thomas Breit as a tax consultant.
