The Service Line HR Taxes - Advice on personal tax and legal issues

WTS offers an integrative and holistic consultancy service in the field of HR Taxes - personal corporate tax. This department comprises over 120 specialists spread across 8 teams at 6 locations throughout Germany.

The importance of personal taxes - nationally and internationally - has increased steadily in recent years - driven by the constantly changing legal environment and its rapidly increasing complexity. Examples of this are the regulations on:

  • Taxation of benefits in kind and events
  • (Wage) Taxation of so-called permanent establishment travellers
  • The European Posting of Workers Directive (PWD)


There is currently a sustainable growth in the number of consultations in the following core areas:

  • Intensity of external audits, especially through systematic account screening
  • Companies' desire for more sustainable compliance, especially in the area of secondments and international payrolls
  • Tax CMS in the area of personal taxes
  • Trend towards a new world of work with the theme of "Work from anywhere"

 

All of these have the common goal of using orderly, automated and, above all, simple processes for taxation and social security contributions to process large amounts of data.

In order to meet these challenges and successfully find solutions with our clients, a holistic approach is necessary:

  • comprehensive process-based solutions in the existing systems
  • workflow-supported processes, but also tools if necessary
  • as well as high-quality advice that is practically easy and quick to implement

HR Consulting

By combining these key areas in the Service Line HR Taxes, we offer our clients what they expect: our proven quality standard. Wherever necessary, we work together in an integrated and seamless manner.

Our specialists in national wage tax, global mobility, national and international payroll as well as our team of advisors in labour and social security law and the "work from anywhere team" look forward to working with you.

Our experts will support you as business partners on a permanent or order-related basis

  • with individually focussed advice in the areas of all questions
  • or comprehensively with an integrated cross-thematic consulting approach
  • national and international
  • process- and/or tool-related
  • independent

BusinessPartnering

We are also happy to provide our clients with advice on wage tax and social security law as part of our BusinessPartnering concept.

BusinessPartnering can be carried out in isolation for wage tax and benefits in kind, but also in combination with other types of tax.

In addition, as tax advisors, we are also the operational partner in standardised, high-quality national and international (shadow) payroll processing.

What sets us apart?

  • We have deliberately refrained from carrying out annual audits since WTS was founded in 2000
  • We thus comply at an early stage with the separation of auditing and consulting for capital market-oriented companies as required by the EU
  • We guarantee a conflict-free, future-oriented and long-term partnership for our clients

Our goals are

  • Providing the best possible excellent advisory services
  • Responding not only to tax issues but also delivering proactive solutions to tax and related risk areas

How do we achieve this?

  • Using our expert teams of more than 120 specialists, we offer know-how from international consulting, financial administration and, above all, from an industry background
  • This gives us a very practical approach that enables our clients to sustainably increase their business success
