About Hofmann Klafsky & Fertig Partnerschaft aus Steuerberatern mbB

Frankfurt's Westend is home to this tax advisory partnership led by three partners, all certified German tax advisers, two of them founding partners. The firm advises domestic and internationally based companies and individuals across the corporate lifecycle, from tax structuring at incorporation, including for foreign companies setting up in Germany, through ongoing compliance to restructuring, sale, succession or liquidation. Its bilingual German and English website includes a dedicated service for expatriates covering assignments both from Germany abroad and from abroad to Germany: income taxation of assignees, tax equalisation and hypothetical tax calculations, net wage agreements, stock option plans, cross-border commuters and relocations, alongside expatriate payroll compliance for employers. Two advisers hold the specialist designation in international tax and the team also works in Dutch and Spanish. Further areas include double taxation treaties, private equity deal structuring, tax due diligence, binding rulings, tax disputes and voluntary disclosures. The firm advises on legal form but does not incorporate companies itself.
