International Tax Law

Your external specialist department

International tax law presents a highly complex and liability-laden minefield for regionally operating, mid-sized law firms. Clients’ expansion into foreign markets—whether through the establishment of a permanent establishment or the formation of a subsidiary—as well as cross-border services, international M&A, or complex global supply chains are often not part of the day-to-day work of regional advisors.
Wickert audit & tax is your expert partner, ensuring that you do not lose lucrative projects and long-standing client relationships to large international law firms, but can instead realize this specific potential for value creation on your own. With our support, you can confidently assist your clients in these matters as well.

Sovereignty in a Highly Dynamic Environment

We are well aware of the immense dynamics and constant changes in double taxation treaties (DTTs), EU directives (such as ATAD), and global initiatives (OECD Pillars 1 and 2).

The matter is highly complex, so consulting with specialized experts demonstrates professional diligence toward your client.

With our discreet support in international tax law, you can ensure the quality of your consulting services and expand your portfolio without incurring your own fixed-cost risk.

Determining Permanent Establishments & Remote Work Structures

Another key area of our support focuses on the tax-related delineation of permanent establishments and the legally sound determination of their profits. With the rise of cross-border remote work, this issue has become one of the most pressing tax challenges of our time.

Wir bieten Ihnen topaktuelle und praxisnahe Expertise, insbesondere auch für die Problematik der Homeoffice-Betriebsstätten. Bei unklaren Abgrenzungsfragen liefern wir Ihnen belastbare Gutachten zur Betriebsstätten-Abgrenzung, die Sie direkt für die rechtssichere Beratung Ihrer Mandanten nutzen können.

Transfer Pricing & Withholding Tax

Prevention and Defense – Transfer pricing is one of the most common targets of tax audits by the tax authorities, as they often suspect that enormous amounts of profit are being shifted in this area. Therefore, another key focus of our work is assisting clients in enforcing transfer pricing arrangements and structuring withholding tax exemptions in a legally compliant manner.

We review, evaluate, and optimize transfer pricing documentation not only as a preventive measure, but also provide you with direct support in defending your documentation during tax audits and before international tax authorities.
