Tax Law

There exist around 40 different types of tax in Germany, the best known of which are income tax, corporation tax, sales tax, trade tax, land acquisition tax as well as inheritance and gift tax. Even if the myth that 80% of the world’s tax literature is in German may not be true (in fact it is probably more like 10%), German tax law is nevertheless a highly complex and rapidly changing area of law with which all companies, all entrepreneurs and all citizens must deal with time and again.
