Our Services
Personal Taxes? This is what we do
You are:
- Working or about to work in Germany on a local or a foreign employment contract
- An English speaking individual
- Unsure what your tax situation is in Germany and you find it difficult to get solid answers on this in your mother tongue
You want to:
- File your annual German tax return and take advantage of all deductions you are entitled to under German law
- Maximize your tax refund while freeing your time
- Talk to an expert directly in plain English rather than ticking endless checklists and dealing with complicated finance terms
- Avoid unpleasant surprises and be certain that we have taken care of all issues
Our Services for you:
- Over the years, we have dealt with all possible employee setups and know all the tricks. We know exactly what you can claim for cross border relocation expenses, how to convince the tax office that your foreign MBA course is work related, and what you need to do to claim your children’s private international schooling. The list goes on… Ask us!
- We guarantee that no other consultant can get you a better tax result – Challenge us!
- You do not need to waste time traveling anywhere, waiting in queues, completing German forms or making calls to impersonal tax officers. Whether you are on a business trip, at work, or at home – your personal EXPATTAX consultant is a call – an email – a video conference away.
We are easily accessible from anywhere:
- Very rarely do we need paper documents from you. Your letters from the tax office can go directly to us and we provide you with a digital version. We include our assessment, in plain English, on your next steps and your best options. This feature is particularly important for constant travelers since most tax office correspondence has strict deadlines. We keep an eye on the deadline for you and keep the foot in the door if you cannot react quick enough.
- Once you are represented by us, you will never get a phone call from the tax office. This helps you to avoid giving the wrong answer because you were “softly pushed” or did not fully understand the question. We provide you with solutions before you are even hit with a problem.
- All of our communication with you is in English. We provide our documents, templates, and forms in English because we ONLY focus on English speaking clients.
- If you have a question which is not exactly taxes, but somehow related, we can either provide an answer or put you in touch with a useful expat contact from our network.
