Professional Register of Tax Advisors Registration of professional practice companies

If you want to provide unlimited tax advice, you must meet certain requirements. This also includes the registration of your professional practice company in the professional register for tax consultants.

You must apply for the registration of your professional practice company or your membership in the professional register of tax consultants at the Chamber of Tax Advisors responsible for you.

The following information must be registered:

• If professional practice companies are recognised in the registration district or if you transfer your registered office to the registration district. The following must be entered:
  • Date of recognition as a professional practice company and the name of the authority or the Chamber of Tax Advisors that granted the recognition (in the case of professional practice companies that are not subject to recognition, the date of registration must be entered in the professional register instead of the date of recognition, or in the case of professional practice companies in the legal form of a partnership, the date of entry in the partnership register)
  • Authorisation to use the name "Agricultural Accountant"
  • Address of the professional establishment, telecommunications data, including business e-mail address, and business Internet address
  • professional associations within the meaning of §§ 49, 50 and 55h StBerG

    • in the case of natural persons: the surname, the first name(s) and the profession pursued in the professional establishment,
    • in the case of legal persons and partnerships with legal capacity: their name or business name, their registered office and, where provided for by law, the register and registration number applicable to them,
  • in the case of legal persons: the surname, first name(s) and profession of each member of the body appointed to represent the body;
  • in the case of partnerships with legal capacity: the partners authorised to represent them and their profession,
  • the surname, first name(s) and profession of the employed tax consultants, tax agents, lawyers, auditors and sworn accountants who are entitled to represent the professional practice company, provided that the professional practice company applies for registration in the professional register
  • Address of the other counselling centres, the surname, the first name(s) and the address of the persons in charge of the other counselling centres
