Tax optimisation in Münster

German Tax Advice

Tax Optimisation

Tax cannot only be declared - it can be planned. We identify the levers that work in your situation and apply them consistently and in a legally sound manner.

Planning rather than administration

Planning rather than administration. We use statutory options, valuation discretion and special depreciation systematically to reduce your tax burden sustainably - with experience, measured judgement and legal certainty.

For us, tax advice does not end with correct declaration. It begins where planning opportunities are recognised and consistently exploited. Our aim is to shape your tax position actively, with the goal of minimising your tax burden sustainably whilst at the same time ensuring legal certainty.

We understand tax optimisation as an ongoing process - not a one-off measure at the year-end. We think in terms of outcomes, not bookings.

How we optimise tax

Three principles that shape our work in tax optimisation - from forward-looking planning to legally sound implementation.

Proactive tax planning

We do not simply react to past transactions but analyse your business development in a forward-looking manner. We consider company structure, investment plans, financing and profit trends together - so that solutions emerge which make commercial sense and deliver a real tax effect.

Consistent use of discretionary room

Tax law offers a wide range of statutory options and planning possibilities. What matters is applying them systematically and at the right time. We ensure that all relevant options are fully exploited - from valuation through to choice of legal form.

Legal certainty and measured judgement

Effective tax optimisation requires experience and a sound instinct for the limits of what is legally permissible. Our planning recommendations are well-founded, transparent and designed for long-term durability - so that they also withstand a tax audit.

Concrete planning levers

For example under § 7g EStG for small and medium-sized enterprises

Formation of tax-free reserves

Reinvestment reserves and other profit-reducing provisions

Full recognition of provisions

Pension, warranty and other provisions consistently recognised on the balance sheet

Valuation of inventories

Valuation options and discretionary areas applied appropriately

Tax-optimised choice of legal form

Tax optimisation means applying the statutory options, valuation discretion and planning opportunities in a systematic and timely manner. The aim is to reduce the tax burden sustainably within what is legally permissible - for example through special depreciation, tax-free reserves or an appropriate choice of legal form.

The tax return records past transactions. Tax optimisation starts earlier: we analyse your business development in a forward-looking manner, examine investment plans, financing and profit trends, and from this develop concrete planning recommendations that make commercial sense and have a real tax effect.

We examine, amongst other things, recognition and valuation options, declining-balance depreciation, special tax depreciation allowances, the formation of tax-free reserves, the full recognition of provisions, valuation options for inventories as well as the tax-optimised choice of legal form. Which levers are effective in a given case depends on your specific circumstances.

Effective tax optimisation requires experience and a sound instinct for the limits of what is legally permissible. Our planning recommendations are well-founded, transparent and designed for long-term durability. We rely exclusively on legally secure arrangements and document the tax assessment in such a way that it withstands a tax audit.

Ideally before the transaction takes place. Many planning options can only be used in advance - for example investment decisions, special depreciation allowances or the formation of reserves. During the year we discuss profit trends and investment plans with you so that the relevant levers can be applied in good time.
