SINCE 20 years successfully active in the FIELD OF CRIMINAL TAX LAW
German tax law is one of the most complicated in the world. As a result, legal tax planning and illegal tax evasion are often closely linked. This affects both private individuals and companies. In the case of private individuals, it often concerns the treatment of foreign bank accounts or other untaxed income, e.g. from self-employment. Violations of the law can also be uncovered in companies, particularly during tax audits. This often concerns the area of wage tax or VAT. In principle, it is important to avoid such conflicts. However, once such a conflict has arisen, it is important to analyze the situation and systematically plan the next steps.
KONLUS has been successfully advising on cases of tax evasion and tax offenses for 20 years. We support our clients - private individuals and companies - in this difficult situation in a discreet and goal-oriented manner. Conflicts with the tax authorities can often be resolved before criminal tax proceedings are initiated. Clients who have discovered errors in the taxation of their income are accompanied by our experienced staff on their way to impunity through a voluntary disclosure.
To avoid criminal tax proceedings, we offer you comprehensive preventive advice. We analyze your individual situation and identify risks. The next step is to consider these risks and develop solutions and a plan to avoid future risks. We also offer you discreet and comprehensive advice on tax evasion and work with you to develop possible solutions. These cases often result in voluntary disclosure. Our experienced staff will quickly and discreetly examine the requirements for a voluntary disclosure and prepare the necessary subsequent declarations.
- Comprehensive advice and implementation of a voluntary declaration exempting from prosecution and the preparation of subsequent declarations.
- In the context of voluntary disclosures, we deal in particular with the subsequent declaration of capital income. This concerns in particular
- non-transparent funds,
- black funds,
- Certificates for securities, precious metals,
- Funds with interim profits,
- wrapped securities (insurance wrapper),
- Table transactions,
- other foreign investment income.
- "First aid" in the context of a tax investigation.
- The coordination of tax law and criminal tax law proceedings.
- The supervision of tax audits and the implementation of objection proceedings with criminal tax law aspects.
- The preparation of expert opinions on tax issues with regard to their relevance under criminal tax law.

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.
