Description

Experienced expert for Tax Compliance and Tax Compliance Management Systems (Tax CMS).

I support companies – especially in complex group structures – in establishing, implementing, and sustainably developing Tax Compliance Management Systems (Tax CMS). The goal is to systematically manage tax risks and establish audit-proof, practical tax compliance structures.

As a lawyer and certified business administrator, as well as a certified Tax Compliance Officer, I work at the interface of tax, compliance, and operational business processes. My focus is on identifying, assessing, and managing tax-related risks (Tax Risks), implementing effective tax controls, and structured, audit-proof documentation within the framework of a Tax Compliance Management System.

Typical Areas of Application

Design, implementation, and further development of tax-relevant internal control systems (ICS)
Establishment and further development of Tax Compliance Management Systems (Tax CMS)
Identification, assessment, and management of tax risks (Tax Risks)
Design and implementation of effective tax controls
Structured documentation and preparation for effectiveness reviews

Areas of Expertise

Tax Compliance / Tax Compliance Management Systems (Tax CMS)
VAT / Value Added Tax
Lump-sum taxation according to § 37b EStG
International tax processes, including TP, PE, FE, WHT

I manage Tax CMS projects holistically – from conception and implementation to further development and effectiveness reviews. I combine in-depth legal analysis with strong business process expertise and a pragmatic approach to implementation.

I place particular value on practical, sustainable, and operationally viable solutions that are not only formally convincing but also withstand tax audits.
