Tax

Whether your company is a small business start-up or a multinational group - there is hardly any business decision without tax consequences. Our tax advisors help you to clear a path through tangled tax regulations.

In spite of all efforts to harmonize tax regulations in certain areas, every country around the globe has its own specific tax system. Wherever you need a partner to support you in your international tax planning, Grant Thornton International is already there.

Ongoing tax advisory services for our clients comprise the evaluation of tax risks and matters of doubt, the compilation of tax returns, the review of tax assessment notes and other official notifications as well as the communication with the tax authorities.

Our organizational structure ensures personalized tax consulting services and continuity of service. Since one partner takes responsibility for the engagement and owns all relevant information we can work with our clients efficiently to minimize the tax burden.

Tax audits are conducted in ever shorter intervals. They tie up personnel resources in the company and entail considerable financial risks for the taxpayer. We support our clients in the preparation for a tax audit and in its handling and defend their best interests in the closing meeting. In appeal proceedings we prepare and file appeals with the high court on our clients' behalf.
