German Business Tax Service

Expanding to Germany? We act as your rappresentante fiscale and deliver end-to-end compliance for your UG/GmbH or PE — VAT, corporate income tax (KSt), trade tax (GewSt), withholding, refunds, and full representation before the Finanzamt. One team, English-first communication, German execution.

Our work follows the topics in the Guida alla tassazione delle imprese tedesche and runs on our German Bookkeeping & Accounting stack. Fees are quoted under StBVV (German Steuerberatervergütungsverordnung) — transparent and market-standard.

Service provided by Gruppo Sesch GmbH WPG, Rahmannstr. 11, 65760 Eschborn.

Cosa facciamo

  • Tax representative of record — we take responsibility for tutti German taxes in scope (no partial engagements).
  • Entity setup & tax registrations — Steuernummer & VAT ID with clean hand-off from Costituzione e impostazione fiscale di UG/GmbH.
  • Opening balance sheet (Eröffnungsbilanz) & initial ledgers; HGB→tax reconciliation.
  • IVA — monthly/quarterly returns, annual VAT, EC Sales Lists/Intrastat, reverse charge & invoice checks.
  • Corporate tax (KSt) & trade tax (GewSt) — electronic returns, assessments review, payments calendar, loss tracking & add-backs.
  • Capital withholding (KapESt) — filings/notifications, certificates, rate checks.
  • Treaty refunds/relief — preparation and documentation for refunds or relief at source.
  • Tax office communication — queries, audits, extensions, installments, appeals where appropriate.
  • Accounting interface — monthly HGB books via Contabilità tedesca feed all returns without rework.

English-first communication, German execution — one calendar, one team, no gaps.

Process & deadlines

  2. Registrations & opening balance — Steuernummer/VAT ID; Eröffnungsbilanz & baseline ledgers.
  3. VAT cycle setup — monthly/quarterly; EC Sales Lists/Intrastat; invoice compliance checks.
  4. Year-end close interface — from HGB trial balance (our Contabilità team or your books) to tax packs.
  5. Corporate filings — KSt & GewSt, assessment review, payments calendar.
  6. Withholding & refunds — KapESt processing and treaty/EU relief/refund applications.

FAQ

Do you take partial engagements (e.g., VAT only)?

No. We only accept Full Compliance engagements where we act as tax representative and handle all taxes in scope. This ensures quality, consistency and defensibility.

How are fees determined?

We quote under the German StBVV after a short scoping call. The quote reflects complexity, document volumes, VAT profile, and any cross-border specifics.

We’re not incorporated yet — can you help?

Yes. Start with Costituzione e impostazione fiscale di UG/GmbH for a power-of-attorney flow, tax registrations, and a clean hand-off into Full Compliance.

Can you coordinate with our U.S. CPA?

Yes. We align German filings with your U.S. reporting (CFC/PFIC, GILTI/FDII, FTCs, TP, repatriation) and provide the reconciliations your U.S. team needs.
