Tax and Customs Law
Ever more complex tax laws permeate broad areas of commercial life. In deliberately close cooperation with our clients‘ tax advisers and accountants, our expert tax lawyers develop tax-optimized solutions which are also feasible under private law. We also attend appeal proceedings before the fiscal courts and the Bundesfinanzhof (Federal Supreme Court in Tax Matters) for many tax consultancies.We represent our clients‘ interests in an increasing number of criminal proceedings involving revenue offences.
Due to the constant representation of companies trading across borders we are particularly competent in matters relating to customs and excise duties. We are advisors for many import/export companies with regard to all issues related to VAT matters. These subjects are dealt with both within a framework of precautionary advice and also in formal proceedings, including representation before the European Court of Justice.
