International living and financial circumstances can give rise to a wide range of tax and legal issues. This is particularly true in cases involving a change of residence, assets held in multiple countries, cross-border equity interests, or succession planning with international implications.
For entrepreneurial families, personal and business interests are often closely intertwined. Changes in residence, ownership interests, or family structure can therefore affect not only personal taxation but also business operations and succession planning.
We take a holistic view of these interrelationships and involve the necessary specialized departments as well as international partners when needed.
Moving away from Germany can have implications for personal tax liability, equity interests, assets, and existing structures. Therefore, the potential consequences should be assessed, if possible, before relocating your residence.
We support you in assessing your current situation, identifying relevant areas of action, and preparing the next steps with a multidisciplinary approach.
When moving to Germany, income, equity interests, real estate, and other assets must be considered within an international context. An early assessment helps identify new reporting requirements and potential interactions between the countries involved.
In cases of succession involving international elements, different tax and legal systems may come into play. This is particularly true when family members live in different countries or when businesses and assets are distributed internationally.
We assist in developing a long-term succession structure that takes into account personal, family, and business interests.
International inheritances and gifts can have tax or legal implications in multiple countries. Key factors include places of residence, nationalities, locations, and the type of assets being transferred.
We assist in assessing the relevant countries and coordinating the relevant technical issues.
The purchase, ownership, rental, or transfer of foreign real estate may trigger tax and legal requirements in multiple countries. Succession and financing issues may also play a role in this context.
Ownership interests in domestic and foreign companies can have implications for current taxation, distributions, dispositions, emigration, and succession. The ownership structure should therefore be considered in light of personal and family goals.
When assets are held internationally, a well-coordinated structure is particularly important. We help you view equity investments, real estate, and other assets within the broader context and coordinate tax and legal considerations.
Are you planning to move away or move to a new location, would you like to prepare for an international succession, or do you need assistance with assets and investments in multiple countries?
Please describe your current situation and the countries involved to us in confidence. We would be happy to schedule a no-obligation consultation with you.
The potential tax implications should be reviewed, if possible, before relocating one's residence. Business interests, real estate, income, and other assets may be particularly relevant.
When moving to a new country, factors such as personal tax liability, foreign income, equity interests, real estate, and existing asset structures may be relevant.
In the case of an international succession, different tax and legal systems may come into play. Factors to consider include the places of residence of the parties involved, the nature and location of the assets, and existing corporate and family structures.
