Tax and commercial law advice for public companies
In Berlin in particular, you will be advised by our experts in the field of public companies. Our Public Business Consulting division handles all special regulations relating to the taxation of publicly owned companies. We offer sector-specific advice on taxes and business law for the public sector (and its own companies). In addition to the VAT-optimized structuring of subsidies and the optimization of your divisional accounting, our focus in tax optimization consulting is also on the tax recognition of the cross-association and permanently loss-making activities. This service of BDO AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft also includes the identification of commercial enterprises and optimization with regard to capital gains tax.
Our organizational advice on tax and commercial law consistently considers the framework conditions of employment, public procurement, state aid and municipal law. Our lawyers and tax advisors provide you with comprehensive advice on optimizing your municipal group, mergers, and spin-offs as well as inter-municipal cooperation. As we are aware of the special features of municipal decision-making processes, we focus on feasibility at every stage of the advisory process. Ultimately, our advice to public companies is aimed at successful practical implementation.
