Dear tax advisor,
my name is Wilhelm Hahn and I am the owner of a medium-sized company in the field of mechanical engineering. In recent years, my trade tax burden has been steadily increasing, which has become a significant burden for my company. Especially in economically challenging times like the current Covid-19 pandemic, the high trade tax is causing me difficulties.
Currently, I am paying a high amount of trade tax, which is having a negative impact on my liquidity and making it difficult for me to make necessary investments and further develop my company. I am concerned that the high trade tax could also be an obstacle to the growth of my company in the future.
Therefore, I would like to know what possibilities exist to minimize my trade tax. Are there legal and tax-recognized strategies to reduce my tax burden? What tax optimization options are available to me as a business owner? How can I reduce my trade tax burden in the long term without violating legal requirements?
I would greatly appreciate your professional advice and specific recommendations on how to optimize my trade tax and financially relieve my company. Thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely,
Wilhelm Hahn
Dear Mr. Hahn,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the optimization of your trade tax burden. As a tax consultant with many years of experience in providing tax advice to companies in the mechanical engineering sector, I can offer you some tips and recommendations to minimize your tax burden and financially relieve your company.
First of all, it is important to mention that there are legal and tax-recognized ways to reduce your trade tax. One possibility is to minimize your trade tax burden through tax-optimized legal form structuring. Depending on the size and structure of your company, it may be advisable to choose a different legal form that offers tax benefits. For example, it may be wise to convert your company into a GmbH to take advantage of the tax benefits of this legal form.
Furthermore, you can reduce your trade tax burden by cleverly structuring your trade tax return. It is important to accurately record and document all tax-deductible expenses and expenditures. By considering tax optimization opportunities such as claiming investment deduction allowances or utilizing tax incentives, you can effectively lower your trade tax burden.
Additionally, you can reduce your trade tax burden in the long term by developing a sustainable and long-term tax planning strategy for your company. It is important to keep an eye on your tax obligations and take early actions to optimize your tax burden. By continuously analyzing your tax situation and adjusting your business strategy, you can reduce your trade tax burden in the long term.
Overall, there are various legal and tax-recognized strategies to minimize your trade tax and financially relieve your company. I am happy to offer you personal consultation to work together on developing individual solutions and optimizing your trade tax burden.
Best regards,
Zofia Schulz
