We do not offer the following services
No routine tax consultancy services without a specific project
We focus exclusively on project work. We do not offer any services in the fields of routine financial and payroll accounting. However, we will prepare the annual financial statements and the corresponding tax returns in the scope of a corporate transformation project.
No consultancy services for companies with profit of less than EUR 500,000
Our consultancy and our concepts in the field of corporate transformation are aimed at handling all the tax-related affairs of companies with complex tax issues over a longer period of time. We therefore do not offer our services to companies with profit of less than EUR 500,000.
We do not provide answers to individual unrelated tax issues
Our approach does not cover providing answers to individual and particular tax questions. Instead, we specialize in offering comprehensive tax consultancy and structuring of partnerships and corporations with complex issues and need for strategic action in connection with tax structuring and planning.
Tax consultant for company transformation: Case study
- EUR 2.2 millionProfit of A-GmbH
- 1.5%arithmetical tax rate over the next seven years
- EUR 5 milliontax savings achieved
Before
One GmbH
A-GmbH
ProfitEUR 2.2 million
Taxes30% corporate and trade tax on the profit
After
Two-tier GmbH
- Holding GmbH
- wholly-owned subsidiary · one-time write-off
- Subsidiary GmbH
- Taxes1.5% over the next 7 years
Situation at the outset
A-GmbH generated a profit of EUR 2.2 million.
Mr. A. is the managing director of A-GmbH, a bakery. He would like to withdraw from the business and hire a new managing director.
In addition to the bakery, he owns several private properties that are used by the bakery. They are therefore automatically part of the business assets.
He therefore cannot step down as managing director without triggering a tax bomb with the properties.
What is the objective?
The main objective of the managing director was to reduce the existing high tax burden.
How did we solve the issue?
We set up a two-tiered GmbH structure by “copying” the existing company into a holding GmbH and a subsidiary, also a GmbH. Subsequently, we converted the internally generated goodwill into a one-time write-off.
What advantages does this have?
Calculated tax rate of 1.5%
After this strategic transformation, the profit of the GmbH will be taxed at a rate of 1.5% over the next 7 years.
No high one-off taxation
The transformation into a two-tiered GmbH structure enabled the enterprise value thus created to be written off, thus avoiding the high one-time tax burden without the company being forced to invest.
Tax savings in the millions
This led to tax savings of EUR 5 million.
Common questions regarding Thomas Breit Tax Services
Contact us nowWhat does the consultation cost?
My consulting services are billed by the hour (Thomas Breit: EUR 750 net/hour, employed tax advisors/lawyers: EUR 650 net/hour, employees: EUR 550 net/hour). The analysis and your objectives will determine which concept is the best fit for your needs. The total cost of implementing this chosen concept will depend on the actual amount of time needed for the implementation. An advance payment of EUR 20,000 plus statutory VAT is due when the order is placed (equivalent to the minimum fee). The conceptualization and implementation are always preceded by a cost-benefit analysis.
My fees are generally offset by the tax savings you achieve. The return on investment is between six months and no more than two years.
Additional costs may be incurred for court fees, notary costs and an expert for corporate law, depending on the project.
Can I work together with my own lawyer/notary?
We can of course work together with your usual partners. Should you need experts, we have a good network of corporate law experts and notaries.
Do I have to transfer my entire mandate to Thomas Breit Tax Services?
No, only in part and not permanently. What does that mean specifically? Due to our high degree of specialization, we do not offer financial and payroll accounting services. These remain with your usual accounting firm throughout the entire project.
However, we take care of the annual financial statements relating to the restructuring of your company. This reduces legal risks for you and allows our work results to be processed in the annual financial statements. We also handle correspondence with the tax office for all assessment issues and questions relating to the restructuring.
Once the project is complete, we hand the annual financial statements back to your usual firm and point out any special features.
Has there ever been a case of poor advice being given?
No, never. 3,500 cases in 25 years – no slip ups.
How long does it take to develop a concept?
Developing a concept takes between three and five years, depending on the project. In rare cases, it may take as many as seven years to implement a concept. However, the tax benefit takes effect from the very first year of our collaboration.
Will you answer other tax-related questions for me?
Yes and no. We are basically able to answer any questions concerning tax law. However, many of these questions can be answered just as well by other tax consultants with lower hourly rates, which is why we recommend you retain your usual tax consultant for such questions.
Why can’t other tax consultants do what you do?
My expertise covers every legal aspect of civil law, such as private law, company law, commercial law, international tax law, inheritance law and much more. In a way, you can compare it to a general practitioner who knows about the heart but is not able to perform heart surgery. I am the cardiologist among tax advisors and consultants, and my specialty lies in providing comprehensive advice that goes beyond tax law itself.

What clients say about us
Our clients value our exceptional expertise and tailor-made solutions. See for yourself how successful entrepreneurs have benefited from our tax consulting services.
I have been working with Mr. Breit since 2005. Over the years, I have successfully implemented various restructuring and reorganization projects with him. To date, I have only had one tax audit, which resulted in a positive outcome. I still benefit from the results of that audit today. I value our collaboration not only because of the results, but also because of the smooth processes, clear explanations, sound advice, and his outstanding professional expertise. Another thing I particularly appreciate is that I can always reach Mr. Breit, or he gets back to me promptly. His commitments are always reliable and binding, and so far there have never been any issues with implementation — neither with the tax authorities, the notary, nor the local court. I look forward to continuing our successful collaboration.

From the outset, he clearly understood what matters most to us in continuing our family business.

Although the planning and implementation process is not yet complete, the path we have chosen feels exactly right for us. We feel we are in the best possible hands with Mr. Breit and his team, receiving highly professional support and, above all, feeling truly understood.
We are deeply grateful to have found Thomas Breit and his team — people who not only excel in their professional expertise, but who genuinely understand what matters to us as a family-owned business.

Hermann Püthe
We came to Thomas Breit Tax Consultancy through a recommendation, and that recommendation turned out to be absolutely right.
What particularly impresses us about Mr. Breit and his team is their holistic view of our situation. It is not simply about tax optimization, but also about sensible long-term planning — whether that involves succession planning for our children, protecting our family, or making strategic decisions that will have a lasting impact over many years.
This forward-thinking approach, combined with an impressively well-organized operation and absolute punctuality in our day-to-day collaboration, makes Thomas Breit a true partner for us rather than just a service provider. In every conversation, we can tell that they are not simply managing things, but actively shaping them.

Karin and Josef Bader
Mr. Breit attaches great importance to finding the optimal structure that is easy to implement on a daily basis, so that he really does stand out from the crowd of “tax administrators”. His proposals are highly sophisticated and thought through to the last little detail.
He succeeds in realizing concepts that last for years because he thinks out of the box. We clearly recommend Thomas Breit as a tax consultant.
