Healthcare professions

Tax advice for healthcare professions

Tax advice for practices, medical care centres and smaller clinics. In healthcare professions the line between VAT-exempt treatment and taxable additional services often runs straight through your own range of services – and it moves with every new service, every employment contract and every partnership. We clarify that line and set up bookkeeping and reporting accordingly.

What you gain

Treatment, additional services and product sales are treated differently. Reports by service area, location or practitioner instead of one total for everything.

Purchase price, financing and legal form are connected for tax purposes. Employed practitioners, temporary staff and freelance work are not the same thing.

Who we look after in the healthcare professions

  • Doctors
  • Dentists

  • Occupational therapy
  • Speech therapy
  • Podiatry

Typical situations

Where healthcare practices often get stuck

Additional services without separation

Private health services, sales and rentals go through the same till as the treatment itself.

Growing into a structure

A single practice becomes a joint practice or a medical care centre – without the bookkeeping keeping pace.

Investment without planning

Equipment, refurbishment and practice takeovers tie up liquidity for years.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

How does switching from my current firm work?

Once you have given your approval, we request the records from your previous adviser and take over the accounting data. A change is possible at any time; the turn of the year is the simplest.

What documents do you need to begin?

For the first conversation: none. To take over we need the last annual accounts, the current accounting data and the tax office access details. We will tell you exactly what is missing.

Do I still need to print my receipts?

No. Receipts can be submitted digitally. If you prefer paper, that also works – we adapt to your business.

Do you also advise clients outside Berlin?

Yes. The collaboration works regardless of location. Meetings take place at the office or online, whichever suits better.

What does it cost?

That depends on the scope. After the first conversation you receive a written proposal with scope and fee before we begin. Fees follow the German tax advisers’ fee regulation; individual agreements are possible. Our fee is based on the actual work involved and the complexity of your case – not on the statutory minimum rate of the German tax advisers’ fee regulation.

Is the first conversation chargeable?

The first conversation to get to know each other is free of charge. It serves to clarify your situation and the possible scope.

Which languages can we speak?

This website is available in German, English, Russian and Polish. Which languages are possible for ongoing support is something we clarify in the first conversation.

What happens if a deadline gets tight?

We keep an eye on deadlines and get in touch in good time. If records are missing, we say so early enough for there to be time left.
