Tax optimisation

Tax structuring options optimise the profitability of property investments. The extended trade tax reduction, exemptions from VAT and real estate transfer tax as well as the right legal form reduce tax burdens. Risks can be minimised through forward-looking planning and structured processes. We provide support with tax optimisation, contract design and compliance with all tax requirements.

The tax regulations on tax groups and group taxation offer companies considerable structuring options, in particular through the offsetting of profits and losses within the group. The prerequisite for this is a financial, economic and organisational integration relationship and the conclusion of a legally compliant profit and loss transfer agreement. We provide you with comprehensive support in the legally compliant implementation and tax-optimised design of this structure.

The tax deductibility of financing expenses plays a central role in the tax planning and tax strategy of companies. Our team of tax advisors can help you to optimise the deductibility of interest and other financing costs. We analyse your current and potential financing structures and advise you on the relevant tax regulations. By taking targeted measures, you can reduce your tax burden and improve your company’s liquidity.

Losses can be utilised through targeted tax measures to reduce the tax burden. These include not only loss carry-back to previous years or carry-forward to future years. We also help you to plan your losses strategically and utilise them as an option. Examples include targeted restructuring or transfers to other types of income. We start by analysing your individual situation and developing tailor-made solutions.

The legal form of a company has a significant influence on the long-term tax burden. When deciding between a sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation, there are various tax factors to consider. We analyse your individual starting position and use our tools to calculate the optimum tax solution in accordance with current regulations.

The tax burden can be reduced by making optimum use of tax-free allowances, staggered gifts and a strategic asset valuation. Precise planning enables a tax-efficient transfer of assets.
