Tax

Unburdening business,
refocussing on operations.

Our tax lawyers offer solid, lasting solutions in a field of law which is volatile and constantly changing. We closely monitor legislation, jurisprudence and administrative decisions to ensure the advice and support we offer our clients consistently reflects the latest developments.

No matter how complex your tax issues, our tax law experts will develop creative and reliable solutions always keeping in mind viability and, most importantly: Your business goals.

Key areas of expertise

We offer advice and support to companies, investors, fund managers and self-employed persons on all questions pertaining to Luxembourg, German, European and international tax law.

We have extensive expertise in all areas of corporate tax law. Our experts offer comprehensive advice on all aspects involving the acquisition or sale of a company (including succession), on conversions and liquidation, and on post-M&A optimisation. Regardless of the legal form of your company, we are also happy to help with ordinary, ongoing taxation questions and concerns. 

If your company or business operates on an international level, we can advise you on all aspects of international and European tax law and support you with taxation for cross-border activities, for example structuring domestic or international investments. With lawyers who specialise in Luxembourg tax law and others who focus on German tax law, we are able to support you not only with inbound and outbound investments but also on cross-border transactions with other European countries. For the latter, we coordinate our work closely with selected reputable law firms abroad. Our multilingual teams are perfectly equipped to meet the needs of our international clients.

We offer initiators and individual investor groups legal advice on organising and managing the tax aspects of open and closed funds. In doing so, we deploy a range of investment strategies such as venture capital, private equity and “renewables”. One of our main areas of focus concerns real estate funds. If you are an investor, we can help you optimise the tax effects for your investment in funds, whether in Luxembourg, Germany or another country.

We have extensive expertise in all areas of tax law connected with the purchase or sale of real estate (whether a single property or an entire portfolio), as well as with the ongoing management of real estate portfolios. The goal of our advice and support is to reduce the amount of tax you pay – not only on your profits, but also land transfer tax and VAT.

In tax matters, we also focus on investigation or enforcement proceedings. We pre-empt and clarify complex and controversial questions via a tax ruling or by reaching a mutual agreement. We also actively support our clients with negotiations during tax audits and with significant points of contention – all the way from the regional to the national tax office level. In the event of a dispute, we will file a lawsuit appealing the tax assessment on your behalf, or represent you if legal action is taken against you in a tax court – and we will follow it through to the highest levels.
