About HTZ Steuerberatungsgesellschaft mbH

Inbound business is the stated specialism of HTZ, a Hamburg tax practice run since 1998 by managing director and tax adviser Hartmut Zantopp from offices near Neuer Wall. The firm supports foreign companies that establish a German company for the German or European market, acting as a one-stop point in English: sharing premises with lawyers in international commercial and corporate law and working with notaries and banks, it coordinates the setup and then handles the ongoing tax and accounting of the new entity. It also advises on Germany as a holding location, on relocating operations and on individuals moving to or leaving Germany, including expatriate taxation. Alongside this international work, HTZ provides the full range of classic tax adviser services for private individuals, entrepreneurs, partnerships and corporations, and it prepares expert opinions in German or English. The English version of the site mirrors its services pages.
