Re: Tax consultant fees for small businesses

Two things I forgot to say is that I also need to pay monthly fee for an online tool (taxdoo) that automatically creates all the balance sheets from online shops and as I know solves the hassles with OSS. In addition, I need to pay €1000 to €2000 for annual financial statements. I am trying to get q...

Tax consultant fees for small businesses

Hi everyone, As far as I know, there are legal guidelines for tax consultancy costs for businesses, similar to private tax consultancy. For a small business (like an e-commerce or dropshipping), does the following quote (from a tax consultancy firm) sound reasonable? — €300 (net) per month (€4.284 g...

Re: Tax deadline with a tax consultant

About a month ago, I talked to a consultant and provided him with my documents. He was supposed to respond regarding whether we could work together, including a quote and the terms. I haven’t received a reply yet. I also called him as a reminder, and he told he would get back to me in a few days. No...

Re: Penalty for being accused of leaving accident scene (Strafbefahl)

Didn't you get the lawyer through your Rechtshutzversicherung? No. But informed them. Actually the lawyer got my Rechtshutzversicherung documents and contacted them about my case. First, I received a letter from the police stating something like, "Someone claimed you had an accident with their...

Re: Penalty for being accused of leaving accident scene (Strafbefahl)

Here’s an update on the case. Unfortunately, I lost. Today was the trial. Before heading into the hall, I wondered why the driver hadn’t shown up. It turned out the only stranger standing at the door was the one playing the role of the driver. Unlike me, who was in a place like this for the first ti...

Re: Tax deadline with a tax consultant

You could if course learn doing the Steuererklärung yourself, for many of us is very doable, although of course a very painful torture prone to potentially expensive mistakes. You are absolutely right. I did by myself for the past few years with online tools and it was quite ok, but since I am gett...

Tax deadline with a tax consultant

Hello, The tax deadline for year 2023 is at the end of Aug. 2024 and as far as know, if the tax declaration is going to be done by a tax consultant (Steuerberater), the deadline is at the end of May 2025. I am trying to find a tax consultant but so far I was not successful. None of the ones that I t...

Re: Penalty for being accused of leaving accident scene (Strafbefahl)

... at least on my interpretation, you should have informed the police of the accident. I asked twice if I should call police, he told no. Which was reasonable to me. Everything was ok. Lesson learned! As I talked to Police I found that he apparently showed them a car with completely broken mirror....

Penalty for being accused of leaving accident scene (Strafbefahl)

Hi I have been accused of leaving a crash scene. A false accusation! Just want to hear your experience. In a turn before the autobahn when the traffic light got green, my car mirror slightly touched the mirror of another car. Because of the traffic, the guy started driving and I also drove after him...

Re: Tax declaration mistake/correction

It is actually in my favor. Do you know what the process is?
I should write them about the issue and will ask me to submit/fill out the tax declaration form once again?

Tax declaration mistake/correction

Hi In case of finding a mistake in reporting the gain/loss (stock, crypto, ...) in a tax declaration after receiving the tax assessment (Steuerbescheid), is there any chance to submit the correction? If yes, should that be done before the appeal (Einspruch) deadline which is ~one month after the rec...
