Passenger transport and haulage
Tax advice for passenger and transport services
Haulage firms, courier services and fleet operators work on tight margins. All the more reason for costs and payroll to be exact.
What you gain
Costs per vehicle instead of one collective item – so you can see what pays off. Subsistence allowances calculated properly, without back payments after an audit.
Evidence and contracts organised so they hold up in an audit. Leasing, repairs and prepayments rarely arrive evenly.

Typical situations
Where logistics businesses struggle
Receipts from the road
Fuel and toll receipts often reach the bookkeeping weeks later.
Cash records in passenger transport
Taximeters, records and cash are a standing focus of tax audits.
Bogus self-employment
Closely integrated subcontractors are a recurring audit topic.
Margins without transparency
Without cost allocation per vehicle or route it stays unclear which jobs carry the business.
What we take on
- Bookkeeping with cost centres per vehicle or route
- Payroll with allowances and premiums
- Review of subcontractor documentation
- Annual accounts and tax returns
- Support during tax and social security audits

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.
