In addition to tax returns, my service also includes tax advice and business consulting based on my experience . This includes, for example, support during tax audits, lodging legal tax appeals or support in setting up a business.

Additional work (e.g. setting up accounting; disclosure of annual financial statements) or other consulting services are for work of average meaning are charged at the statutory time fee of EUR 105 per hour in six-minute intervals (average fee according to § 13 StBVV, max. EUR 150 if difficult; plus statutory expenses, § 16 StBVV, 20%, max. EUR 20 and 19% VAT). To make it easier to settle payments, I use the SEPA direct debit procedure.

Example: The discussion of your case takes 30 minutes. After the consultation, I may send you additional information by e-mail because I would like to read up on something as a precautionary measure without incurring any significant additional effort. The total fee for this is EUR 74.97 gross (consultation 30 min EUR 52.5 plus statutory lump sum for expenses § 16 StBVV EUR 10.5 and VAT 19% EUR 11.97).

Why does even a “small” question cost something? I am pleased to help you with assistance in tax matters, but I do not work for free. This also applies if no written order has been placed, as I am liable for any information – even if it was given ” only briefly on the phone”. I hope you understand that. If not, I am not the right tax advisor for you.

Consulting services, e.g.

• Income tax advice
• Company formation
• GoBD and procedural documentation
• Tax burden calculation / comparison of legal forms

Typical consulting services include, for example, support in setting up and ongoing monitoring of procedural documentation (keywords: document filing / replacement scanning / cash management), which is mandatory due to the GoBD. You can find out more about the topic of procedural documentation in my presentation (download: here, only in German) and about the GoBD in the AWV’s practical guide, which you can either download here or directly from their website https://www.awv-net.de/.
