SINCE 30 years successfully active in INTERNATIONAL TAX LAW
Questions of international tax law arise not only in the context of strategic realignment, but also in day-to-day business. Internationally active taxpayers must comply with the resulting tax obligations at home and abroad. Working abroad, changing residence or inheritance also force private individuals to deal with international tax law. KONLUS has been advising domestic and foreign companies on cross-border issues for over 30 years. As a member of PrimeGlobal, a referral network of independent auditing and tax consulting firms, we have worldwide contacts to experts in the fields of tax consulting, auditing and management consulting. Our daily cooperation with our international colleagues enables us not only to look at international issues from a German perspective and find the best possible tax solution, but also to take foreign regulations into account.
- Comprehensive advice to domestic companies (corporations and partnerships) that also operate abroad to ensure global tax compliance and identify tax optimization potential
- Assessment of cross-border deliveries, supply chains and services from an income tax and VAT perspective
- Optimal structuring and documentation of permanent establishment issues and identification of permanent establishment risks
- International location selection from a tax perspective and tax structuring of foreign investments
- Application and impact of double taxation treaties to avoid or eliminate double taxation and liability issues in withholding tax deduction (capital gains, licenses) including support with exemption certificates and refund procedures
- Assistance with external tax audits by the tax authorities on issues relating to international tax law and transfer pricing
- Advice on international gifts and inheritance cases
- Advice on international real estate acquisitions
- Tax optimization of cross-border emigration and immigration to Germany
- Comprehensive advice on cross-border restructurings in the group of companies or in the corporate group (mergers, demergers, spin-offs)
- Supporting various tax consultant colleagues on a wide range of issues in international tax law while strictly observing and complying with client protection
- Adoption of the reporting obligation for cross-border tax arrangements (DAC6)
- Support with international company acquisitions (asset or share deal)

Frequently asked questions
Would you like to work with us and commission us for your tax, business management or start-up projects?
Perhaps you would like to switch from another law firm to our services. We will give you a brief overview of the first steps here. You are also welcome to contact us directly and we will advise you personally about the possibilities in our offices in Bensberg and Cologne.
The first step is to contact us. Use our short, compact contact form to do this. Simply click on one of the buttons to go directly to the contact form - alternatively, you can also give us a call.
Once we have received your data, we will contact you promptly for a free and non-binding initial consultation.
We also inform the tax office on your behalf about the change of tax advisor.
n the initial consultation, we would like to be able to assess your current situation. You should therefore describe it to us at the initial meeting. On this basis, our tax law experts will develop a strategy with which we can support you individually. In this context, you will also receive the relevant information on our specific price offer.
If you are happy with our offer, you will be given a mandate - otherwise this initial consultation will be all that remains. There is therefore no risk for you.
You do not need any documents for our non-binding initial consultation. However, if you would like to talk about optimizing your tax situation right away, it would be useful if you could prepare the following documents:
- Last annual financial statements with supplementary documents (tax return)
- last income tax assessment
- Current BWA with proof of accounts
If you would like to switch from your previous tax advisor to KONLUS, they are obliged to transfer data, open contracts and any documents to us. We use software from the market leader DATEV, which makes the transfer easy in most cases.
As a rule, there are also no notice periods to observe - we will be happy to check this with you and take care of the other formalities regarding the change.
We also inform the tax office on your behalf about the change of tax advisor.
What is important to us is that we do not manage the past, but shape the future. In doing so, we seek direct proximity to our clients and always keep our eyes and ears open for optimization opportunities. We keep you informed proactively and on an ongoing basis.
What our ongoing service is not: thoughts of excessive time expenditure and price. Instead, we want to be the strong partner at your side who actively takes care of your ongoing processes. We point out possible optimizations and advise you professionally and individually.
