Ask a lawyer on the topic of Tax law

How can I optimize my taxes as a self-employed person?

Dear Mr. Lawyer,

I am Ralf Wagner, a self-employed entrepreneur in the field of IT consulting. Over the past few years, I have noticed that my tax burden is very high and I would like to find ways to optimize my taxes.

Currently, I am paying a high tax rate on my income and business expenses are also significant. I feel like I am not taking advantage of all opportunities to minimize my taxes and would like to know what legal measures I can take to reduce my tax burden.

I have tried to educate myself on potential tax savings, but the topic is very complex and I am unsure of which measures are suitable for me as a self-employed individual. I want to make sure that I am maximizing all legal possibilities to optimize my tax burden.

Could you please provide me with specific tips and recommendations on how I can optimize my taxes as a self-employed individual? I would greatly appreciate your professional advice and support in this matter.

Sincerely,
Ralf Wagner

Dear Mr. Wagner,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding optimizing your tax burden as a self-employed entrepreneur in the field of IT consulting. It is understandable that you are looking for ways to minimize your taxes and ensure that you take advantage of all legal options.

As a lawyer specializing in tax law, I can provide you with some specific tips and recommendations to optimize your tax burden. First and foremost, it is important that you correctly and fully claim all business expenses. These may include office supplies, work equipment, office rent, travel to clients, continuing education, and insurance premiums.

Furthermore, you should assess whether you can benefit from certain tax incentives or subsidies. These may include investment allowances, support for research and development, and funding for further training. The use of tax depreciation can also help reduce your tax burden.

Additionally, you should consider the possibility of tax optimization through choosing the right legal form for your business. Depending on the size and profit of your company, it may be beneficial to choose a different legal form to take advantage of tax benefits.

It is also advisable to work regularly with a tax advisor to analyze your tax situation and take measures to optimize it if necessary. An experienced tax advisor can provide you with individual recommendations tailored to your specific situation.

In summary, as a self-employed entrepreneur in the field of IT consulting, you can optimize your tax burden through correctly claiming business expenses, taking advantage of tax incentives, choosing the right legal form, and working with a tax advisor.
