Wealth planning in Germany

We advise you from A to Z

If you have (business) assets in Germany, you must consider various legal and tax considerations in your wealth planning. The laws and regulations differ in several respects from those in the Netherlands. For example, there are differences between Germany and the Netherlands in (the tax consequences of) pension plans and in the way inheritance and gift taxes are levied. At the same time, you can utilize tax treaties to avoid double taxation and structure your assets to minimize tax burdens. Our specialists are happy to tell you more about this.
