Making your life and business easier

Getting a Steuernummer is about correctly classifying your business right from the start. Avoid these common obstacles:

  • Endless filling out of forms: The application for a Steuernummer (Fragebogen zur steuerlichen Erfassung) has many pages in complex official German. We will fill it out for you.
  • Withheld payments (Bauabzugsteuer): If you work in construction, without a Steuernummer, your German client must deduct 15% from every invoice. We will help you get your tax number (Steuernummer) as well as the necessary Freistellungsbescheinigung certificate.
  • Incorrect tax classification: Incorrectly filled out information can lead the German tax office (Finanzamt) to impose obligations on you that would otherwise not apply to you if filled out correctly. We will ensure that everything is set up optimally.
  • Long waiting times: We know which information the authorities require as a priority. This minimizes the risk of your application getting stuck at the end of the process due to missing details.
  • Communication with the Finanzamt: If the office requires additional documents, we communicate directly with them. You don’t have to call anywhere.

Tax number in Germany – When do you need it?

There are several situations where a Steuernummer is a necessity:

German trade (Gewerbe)

It is your basic identification number for communication with the German authorities and for invoicing.

Construction activity in Germany

Without it, the office will not issue you an exemption from the construction withholding tax (Freistellungsbescheinigung), which means a loss of 15% of your turnover.

I have a business in Germany (GmbH/UG)

We will provide you with a comprehensive tax registration and the assignment of all necessary numbers for the legal operation of your company.

Property ownership

If you rent out real estate in Germany, you need a Steuernummer to declare your rental taxes.
