Wage Tax

Employers must withhold wage tax each time they pay wages and pay it to the tax office on behalf of the employee, and in doing so they have to consider a lot of other things.

In particular, the areas of taxation of benefits in kind and events have become more important in recent years. This is due to more intensive external audits, as well as stricter internal compliance requirements.

In addition to the still essential advice in individual cases, which should always be oriented towards the practical needs of the companies, end-to-end process compliance as well as automation and Tax Compliance Management Systems are of outstanding importance.
