Tax Structuring

The most important tax decisions are made before a transaction takes place. We support mid-sized companies, their shareholders and corporate groups in structural decisions – with the aim of keeping both the tax burden and the risks under control.

Typical occasions

  • Legal form and structure: Choice of legal form, setting up and optimising holding structures, tax groups (Organschaft).
  • Restructuring: Conversions, contributions, mergers and spin-offs – tax-neutral wherever possible.
  • Business succession: Transfer to the next generation, inheritance and gift tax, family businesses – from trade businesses to corporate groups.
  • Transactions: Buying and selling companies and shareholdings, tax due diligence, purchase price structuring.
  • Shareholders and management: Remuneration, changes of shareholders, employee participation.
  • Incentives: Germany’s research allowance (Forschungszulage) and other public funding programmes.

Our standard

Every structure has to stand up to a tax audit. We document our recommendations clearly, obtain binding rulings from the tax authorities where needed and bring in the lawyers of Vectocon Legal directly for corporate and employment law questions.
