Save on trade tax

Trade tax is a municipal tax in Germany that is paid by companies on their profits. It is one of the most important sources of income for cities and municipalities and is used to finance public services.

The trade tax assessment rate is a decisive factor in calculating trade tax. It is set individually by each municipality and determines how much tax is actually payable. This assessment rate must be at least 200% by law, but can be significantly higher depending on the municipality. The higher the assessment rate, the more trade tax a company pays. The trade tax assessment rate is therefore an important factor when companies choose a location.
