We help foreign businesses that start to do business in Germany select a tax-optimized corporate form both in Germany and abroad. Our international tax practice also focuses on taxation of foreign income (in particular taxation of German-controlled foreign corporations (CFC), and taxation of family foundations), transfer pricing, double-taxation, issues arising in connection with relocations to or from Germany, and withholding taxes on dividends, interest or license fees.

When issues of international or European tax law arise, we represent the interests of our clients both in connection with tax audits, tax appeals, and tax court proceedings before German and European courts as well as in mutual agreement proceedings under double-taxation treaties or the EU Arbitration Convention.
