IT and e-commerce
Tax advice for IT and e-commerce
Tax advice for software and IT companies as well as for online retail. Recurring revenue, customers abroad and sales through platforms raise their own questions – for VAT as much as for the structure that fits your growth. We make sure that bookkeeping, reporting and company structure grow with the business.
What you gain
Services to businesses and to consumers abroad are treated differently. Subscriptions and prepayments need clean accrual accounting.
Marketplaces, payment providers and warehouses abroad bring their own obligations. What works for one company may not work for three.
Who we look after in IT and e-commerce
- Software companies
- IT service providers and system houses
- E-commerce and online retail companies

Why IT companies come to us
Customers abroad
An invoice without VAT is not automatically a correct invoice.

Fast growth
Five people become twenty – the bookkeeping does not grow along on its own.
Structures that just happened
Shareholdings that grew historically and nobody keeps track of any more.

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.
