Annual Reports

Filing meaningful annual reports both for commercial and tax law including explanations according to your specific needs is one of our core competences.

We carry out these activities independently, whether the bookkeeping has been prepared by us or has been internally filed in your company.

Tax returns for commercial companies, professionals and individuals

We have gained invaluable experience over numerous years in filing tax returns for companies, professionals, individuals as well as other complex company structures (tax groups, company split-ups, etc.) on a domestic and international basis.  We are very familiar with partnerships as well (e. g. complementary and supplementary tax balance sheets, loss off-setting according to Sec. 15a Income Tax Act, favoritism of withheld gains). Be rest assured , that we will use all possible tax options to your greatest advantage.

Opposition and Finance Court proceedings including Federal Central Tax Court

It is  common knowledge that , occasionally, tax authorities  – often caused by a questionable legal opinion – dispute tax returns filed, even if they have been prepared as diligently as possible. We assist you in the initial opposition to this claim, and if necessary, in finance court proceedings, to enforce your rights in the strongest possible way. We have vast experience in court proceedings even at Federal Central Tax Court and Federal Constitutional Court.

International Tax Law

Tax planning does not stop at national borders. In these times of globalization, the relevance of international tax law is constantly increasing, both for companies and individuals.

With our long standing competence in this area, we look forward to assisting you or your company to avoid unnecessary tax burdens.

Fiscal Offense Law

Changes in law and intergovernmental treaties result in tighter obligations, especially of banks to disclose information. This has led to an increased importance of fiscal criminal law. We have successfully filed several reports explaining false or incomplete tax declarations to tax authorities in a professional manner thus exempting our clients from criminal sanction.
