Advice on taxation of an inheritance from a British estate or trust in Germany
Although we do not offer ongoing or comprehensive advice on income tax, we do not leave our clients alone with regard to the consequences of inheritance for income tax. Our services include, for example
- Obtaining the necessary documents for the declaration of German income tax for the profit from the sale of securities;
- Advice on the income tax consequences of a death benefit from private pension schemes;
- Advice on the taxation of the estate's current income (dividends, interest, rents, gains from the sale of securities);
- Advice on avoiding double taxation and exercising tax options.
On request, we can assist your personal tax advisor with the declaration of income tax or a declaration for the separate assessment of the tax bases of a foreign estate or draft such a declaration.
