Tax

Tax always comes into play in almost every facet of the business. To avoid surprise losses related to tax, tax advice needs to be sought before you enter into business transactions. Hence, tax planning is best developed in advance. However, certain transactions may have been undertaken without proper tax planning or even without any tax planning at all.

Our full service offer in the corporate tax environment ranges from high-quality advice relating to national and international tax law, the preparation of tax accruals and tax returns, and advice on all issues relating to tax auditing. In addition, we support our clients from a tax perspective in their transactions and restructuring projects. We specialise in efficient and structured processes.

US TAX/FATCA

We support many of our clients as part of a business partnership, in which we take full or partial responsibility for the management of the control function. This special expertise is also in our DNA, as WTS was created by the tax departments of two Dax companies. We are therefore very familiar with tax structures and processes, as well as the complex tax issues faced by companies.

With our tax risk management systems and our experience in the implementation of internal tax control systems/tax ICS, we are able to significantly improve corporate compliance, and therefore to reduce to the effective tax rate through anticipatory tax planning. We are right at home in the world of large international companies. Our clients include some of the largest DAX, MDax and TecDax companies in Germany. At the same time, we have special expertise for advising small and medium-sized companies and private clients.

Naturally, we are also able to extensively assist our clients with cross-border issues or foreign tax law. We work very closely with our colleagues from WTS Global. Our own international network is present in more than 100 countries, and includes top-class consultancy firms in the world’s most important economic hubs.

At WTS, we rely on multidisciplinary teams in order to develop the best solution for each individual challenge. We are distinguished by a special personnel structure. Our specialists combine their expertise in industry, financial management, international consulting and the tax-related IT sector in a special way. This enables us to look at tax issues from various perspectives.
