Simplified illustration: both holding companies each hold 50% of the joint venture in Singapore
  1. Situation at the outset

    An Indian company, represented by Mr. M. from Germany and Mr. L. from Singapore, is valued at EUR 4.5 million. Mr. M. and Mr. L. plan to expand their business to Germany. It is of the utmost importance to Mr. M. and Mr. L. that their activities are legally sound and future-proof in order to ensure their international business structure is compliant with German tax laws. To date, they only have an operating company in India.

  2. What is the objective?

    The main objective is to establish a legally sound European business and to create the necessary structures to ensure their international business structure is compliant with German tax law.

  3. How did we solve the issue?

    In order to reach this objective, Mr. M. founded a holding company called M-Holding in Germany. This company operates either as a UG or as a GmbH. The holding company in Germany owns 50% of the shares in the newly founded joint venture in Singapore. In turn, the newly founded joint venture owns 100% of the shares in the newly founded GmbH in Germany, which is an operating company.

    At the same time, Mr. L. founded the L-Holding in Singapore, which in turn owns 50% of the shares in the newly founded joint venture in Singapore.
    In turn, this company owns 100% of the shares in the newly founded company in India, which is an operating company. The original company in India (valued at EUR 4.5 million) transferred all licenses and company assets to this new company in India.

  4. What advantages does this have?

    • Legally sound and secure tax basis

      This structured approach enabled Mr. M. and Mr. L. to create a legally sound and secure tax basis in Germany for their European business.

Common questions regarding Thomas Breit Tax Services

Contact us now

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.

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.

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.

No, never. 3,500 cases in 25 years – no slip ups.

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.

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.

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.

I have felt very well looked after by Thomas Breit and his team from the very beginning. After receiving poor advice from other tax advisors, they brought order and structure back into my financial affairs.
Thomas Breit’s professional expertise is outstanding, and working with him is easy and straightforward. For me, one point is particularly important: The less I know about something myself, the more I need to be able to trust the person I am entrusting it to. Since Thomas Breit and his team stand out not only for their professional expertise but also for their personal approach, that trust is absolutely there.
