What we tax advisors refer to as declaration consulting might be an annual nuisance for you, but for us, it’s a crucial component of our tax advisory services: the tax declaration. In this process, we also examine potential tax advantages that you can claim through a properly prepared tax declaration. This approach not only saves you time but often provides financial relief by reducing or deferring taxes.
We are happy to prepare your tax declarations for both business and personal matters. Often, a tax declaration marks the beginning of a long-term, comprehensive collaboration.

Frequently Asked Questions
My annual profit is very high. What options do I have to reduce or defer my tax burden?
There are various options to consider on a case-by-case basis, such as:
- Utilizing different methods or options for depreciating certain assets.
- Establishing provisions for various risks that are also permissible under tax law.
- Creating reserves for future acquisitions, which can also reduce taxable income
My company has been notified of an upcoming tax audit. Can I postpone the start of the audit? Do I have to accept that the audit takes place on my premises?
First and foremost: If you have received an audit notice, you should seek tax advice as soon as possible.
Generally, before a tax audit begins, an audit order (§ 196 AO) must be issued, specifying the legal basis (§ 193 AO) as well as the subject matter and time frame of the audit (§ 194 AO, § 4 BpO).
The audit order must be communicated in writing well in advance of the audit:
- For large enterprises, 4 weeks before the audit begins.
- For all others, 2 weeks prior (§ 5 Abs. 4 BpO).
Postponement is generally possible informally by coordinating with the auditor.
Appeal:
If the audit order is unlawful, it can be contested by filing an objection, and a request for suspension of execution should be submitted simultaneously.
Cooperation:
As a taxpayer, you have various obligations to cooperate, such as providing information and presenting documents.
The audit is generally conducted on the taxpayer’s premises. If no suitable business premises are available and the audit cannot take place in residential premises, it is to be conducted at the tax office (“at the official premises”). Other audit locations are only considered in exceptional cases (§ 6 BpO). In practice, however, tax audits often take place at tax consulting firms.
