At Open A German Company, we provide complete VAT services in Germany for GmbHs, UGs, and international businesses trading in Germany. From VAT registration to ongoing filings, our German tax specialists ensure you meet every legal requirement without the stress.

Why VAT Services are Essential in Germany

Germany has strict rules for Value Added Tax (VAT), and incorrect or late filings can lead to significant penalties. If you sell goods or services in Germany or to EU customers, you’ll need the right VAT setup from day one.

  • Accurate VAT Registration: Get your VAT number (Umsatzsteuer-ID) quickly and correctly
  • On-Time Filings: Avoid penalties with punctual submissions every quarter or month
  • Expert VAT Advice: Understand how VAT applies to your specific business activities
  • International Compliance: Ensure cross-border transactions meet EU VAT rules
