Regional scope:
Activities in Germany, other European countries including Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, Turkey and the states on the territory of the former Soviet Union.
Insurance cover includes the tasks of assistance in tax matters referred to in § 33 StBerG as well as some activities compatible with the profession of tax adviser or authorized representative, eg. business advice, payroll, registration and deregistration with social insurance institutions and the processing of public dues or benefits, even if they are not subject to administration by the tax authorities.

Professional regulations:
The tax adviser profession is essentially subject to the following legal regulations:
a) Tax Advisory Act / Steuerberatungsgesetz (StBerG)
b) Implementing regulation to the Tax Advisor Act / Durchführungsverordnung zum Steuerberatungsgesetz (DVStB)
c) Professional Code of Conduct for the Federal Chamber of Tax Advisers / Berufsordnung der Bundessteuerberaterkammer (BOStB)
d) Tax Adviser Fee Ordinance / Steuerberatergebührenverordnung (StBGebV)

According to § 157d Abs. 1 StBerG of the law for the new regulation of the professional law of the legal and tax consulting professional practice companies, which will come into force with its essential parts from August 1st, 2022, our previous recognition as a tax consulting company is automatically considered as recognition as a professional practice company.

The professional regulations can be viewed on the homepage of the Federal Chamber of Tax Advisers at www.bstbk.de, the Steuerberaterkammer Hessen at www.stbk-hessen.de or the publications of the Federal Ministry of Justice at www.gesetze-im-internet.de.

Conflicts of interest:
According to § 57 Abs. 1 StBerG, § 2 Abs. 1 BOStB, tax advisers have to protect their personal and economic independence from everyone. According to § 2 Abs. 2 BOStB, tax consultants are not allowed to enter into any commitments that could jeopardize their professional freedom of choice. This means that the tax consultant must be able to practice his profession free of extraneous influences and not be in a conflict of interest. Accordingly, § 6 (1) BOStB regulates that tax consultants are not allowed to act if there is a conflict with their own interests. Several clients may only be advised or represented in the same case if the tax consultant has been given a joint order or if all the clients agree. Tax consultants must expressly point out conflicting interests and may only act as a mediator (Section 6 (2) BOStB).
The prohibition of representing conflicting interests should above all serve to safeguard the independence of the tax adviser. In the interests of the administration of justice, the public’s trust in the reliability and integrity of tax consultancy should be protected.
However, it is necessary for the existence of a conflict of interest that there is actually a conflict of interest. The mere abstract possibility or concern of a conflict of interest is not enough to establish a breach of the requirement of independent professional practice. An unlawful act is therefore only if the conflict of interest exists in concrete terms or breaks out.

Information on out-of-court dispute resolution proceedings:
The responsible tax advisor chamber leads on application acc. § 76 para. 2 no. 3 StBerG in the case of disputes between the tax consultant and client through a conciliation procedure and provides more detailed information.

In addition, there is the possibility of online settlement of consumer disputes under EU Regulation No. 524/2013. We inform and refer you to the relevant publications of the European Commission available on their website: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/
