Ask a tax advisor on the topic of Business start-up

Which form of society?

December 31, 2010 | 20,00 EUR | answered by Steuerbera Georg Stahn

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am looking to become self-employed as a real estate agent, but I do not want to operate as a sole proprietorship. Instead, I would like to work as part of a company where I receive a salary and remain insured for health and retirement benefits as an employee (including family coverage for my wife and child).

I also want to maintain my employee pension plan for the future. I am looking to keep the startup costs as low as possible, and I am considering setting up a Limited Company, Mini GmbH, or similar entity.

In which form of company can I deduct the salary of the managing director? What would you recommend for me?

Best regards,

Steuerbera Georg Stahn

Hello,

the most cost-effective option would be to establish a UG (limited liability company).
Here you can also pay a managing director's salary and include it in the cost.
For further inquiries, details, I am always available and happy to help.
