Frequently Asked Questions
What German taxes does AccountsOS support?
AccountsOS and Finn cover Körperschaftsteuer (15% + SolZ = 15.825%), Gewerbesteuer (effective 10-17% depending on municipality), and Umsatzsteuer (19% / 7%). Finn also knows the key deductible expense rules under German tax law.
Do I still need a German Steuerberater?
For complex situations, filings, and local representation, yes. But AccountsOS dramatically reduces the time you spend with your Steuerberater by helping you understand your position, track deadlines, and prepare your books.
Can AccountsOS handle a GmbH's annual financial statements?
AccountsOS handles bookkeeping, transaction categorisation, and financial reporting. Your Steuerberater would still prepare the formal Jahresabschluss for filing with the Bundesanzeiger.
What is the combined effective corporate tax rate for a German GmbH?
Körperschaftsteuer at 15.825% plus Gewerbesteuer typically gives a combined effective rate of 29-33% depending on your municipality. Berlin is around 30.2%, Munich around 33%, Frankfurt around 32%.
