6th North German Entrepreneur Convention

Increasing Demand for International Tax Consulting Services

Hamburg, 05 May 2010 – More and more Hamburg-based businesses are seizing the opportunity of achieving future growth by penetrating high-potential markets. One of the key topics at the 6th North German Entrepreneur Convention is internationalization. On that occasion current options for tax planning will be presented by World Tax Service WTS, one of the major German tax consulting firms. The Hamburg office of WTS will celebrate its third anniversary this month.

At present the demand for international tax consulting services is higher than ever before. From the topics to be discussed at the 6th North German Entrepreneur Convention the following can be taken: The expansion into international markets is critical for the competitiveness of businesses. In this context internationalization includes for example securing sales by market proximity, circumventing import restrictions and taking advantage of lower transportation costs. To secure the benefits and to avoid mistakes it is essential to focus on international tax law. The more global the business of the client the more internationally-minded the tax consultants have to be. With two expert consultants for international tax law WTS Hamburg specializes in this field. Through its WTS Alliance consultancy network the tax firm has access to tax experts in 92 countries.

“We are considered the hidden champion in our industry“, says Eva Doyé, Executive President and Partner of WTS AG Steuerberatungsgesellschaft and at the same time Head of the Hamburg office. “In the past ten years our firm delivered a dynamic growth that has been taken note of in the market. With a staff of 400 and an extensive international network we are optimally positioned for international projects.“

Tax planning options provided by the international tax law include in particular the choice of legal form and transfer pricing. A further topic is how to avoid unintended permanent establishments abroad.
