Spotlight On: Germany

Germany is a highly sought-after market for international business expansion and growth. With one of the largest economies in the world, sophisticated infrastructure, and perfect location in the heart of Europe, Germany offers companies huge opportunities for international growth.

With every growth opportunity, there can also be challenges. Germany’s complicated tax system, with many required tax payments each year and up to 14 different types of taxes imposed on businesses, it can be difficult to maintain compliance and ensure tax requirements are met. There are also many local requirements that can require additional certifications depending on the type of company.

Whether you’re already doing business in Germany or thinking of expanding there, you need a partner with in-country expertise to ensure payroll and tax compliance to avoid fines and penalties.
