Like the turnover tax law of other EU member-states, German turnover tax law is based on the legal imperatives stipulated by the European Union. In spite of this common legal basis, however, Germany has a large number of special features in its turnover tax law that must be observed. The rules on turnover taxation are becoming ever more extensive – German courts issue an endless flow of new judgments, new formalities and registration obligations and increasing strictness in matters of liability and financial penalties. In order to exclude financial risks in Germany, through erroneous calculations for example, but also to keep the administrative burden to your company as low as possible, VAT planning is indispensable.
