Association
A German law (Steuerberatergesetz, StBerG) defines, who is licensed to provide tax consulting: Tax consultants on the one hand and Lohnsteuerhilfevereine on the other.
A Lohnsteuerhilfeverein is an organisation of employees (retirees too) to help each other with tax matters (§ 13 para. 1 StBerG).
Organisation:
Employees join forces in a Lohnsteuerhilfeverein and each one of them pays a membership fee depending on earnings.
The money is used to sign tax consultants and executives.
Purpose:
Access to adequate professional tax consulting conducted by tax consultants or qualified executives for members of the association.
Thus there are no fees, that are usually payable to offices specialized in tax matters of companies.
The LohnsteuerHilfeverein München e.V.
offers tax consulting services since 1971.
Our members mostly live and work in the greater Munich area. But the membership itself is not tied to a certain place – more and more consultings are handled via mail, phone, fax and e-mail.
The annual subscription starts as low as 45 € – no initial fee! (⇒ Membership)
For reasons of quality assurance we only
run one office in downtown Munich.
Members of the executive committee of the LohnsteuerHilfeverein München e.V.:
- Harald Halbig (lawyer, tax consultant) - Chairman
- Hannah Stein (lawyer)
- Wilfried Lober (lawyer, Regierungsbaumeister)
The association is specialized in solving tax problems
of employees and retirees with little extra earnings.
