The German Tax System
The Darmstadt CCI advises entrepreneurs on all questions concerning tax law.
Germany offers a competitive system of company taxation. The average tax burden on companies is less than 30 percent. In some regions, due to a locally variable rate of trade tax, it is under 23 percent. This means that company taxation in Germany is clearly competitive with other leading industrial nations.
If you wish to discuss your problems with the German tax system with a consultant from our chamber of commerce and industry free of charge; if you wish to inform yourself personally about a concept and financing possibilities, or if you have not yet received an answer to one of your questions, then please get in touch with us.
German Tax Law
The German tax law is subject to the following criteria: the conformity with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany, the integration in international structures as well as being 'suitable for Europe'. These principles apply irrespective of current affairs. To a large extent, the German tax law is resistant to changing political moods. Tax law in acts a state financing instrument and is therefore not suitable for social policy.
