Taxes and Legal Advice

A couple of good links that might help with your German tax return: especially useful if you’re fairly new here and/or if your German is not quite up to deciphering the paperwork: http://www.germantaxes.info – for lots of information and downloads in English from the Bundeszentralamt für Steuern, and http://www.expattax.de – for an English-speaking tax advisor, based in Munich.

For a list of English-speaking lawyers and notaries in Germany, please go to the official British government website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/germany-lawyers?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=govuk-notifications-topic&utm_source=073643a3-77bd-44d3-aaa7-8cf27791c30a&utm_content=immediately
