Why the auditor's view makes the difference
We know the questions before they are asked.
Matthias Steger was a German tax auditor for nine years and has been active in crypto since 2016, first as an investor and, since 2018, as a lecturer for tax advisers. That is our standard for private and business clients: every figure must be provable the way an auditor would ask for it.
- We run cases. We look for the cases best suited to settle a question and take them to the tax court, for example the disposal sequence (Berlin-Brandenburg Tax Court, suspension of enforcement on 12 June 2026). As counsel we know the arguments of both sides. See the case register.
- We work with software. We review crypto tax software and see opportunities to make selectable methods such as FIFO, LIFO and HIFO usable on a court-backed footing. Compliance review
- We are where the rules are made. Matthias Steger was an expert witness before the Finance Committee of the German Bundestag. Expertise

Questions and answers
Do you advise in English?
Yes. We advise in English throughout, including the correspondence with the German tax office. We explain every figure in English before anything is submitted.
Do I have to pay German tax on crypto if I only moved to Germany recently?
If you live in Germany, German tax rules apply to your crypto transactions. What exactly is taxable depends on when and how you acquired and sold. We clarify this in the call back. For people arriving from abroad, see our page on moving to Germany.
Where is your office and do you work for clients throughout Germany?
Our office is in Potsdam, near Berlin (Dennis-Gabor-Straße 2, 14469 Potsdam). We advise clients throughout Germany and internationally.
What does it cost?
The minimum fee for an income tax return is EUR 2,380.00 per tax year, including VAT. That includes five hours of review and processing of transactions and the annexes SO, N and R. Other fee bases apply to high sale proceeds and businesses. All fees are on the fees page.
The tax office has written to me in German. What should I do?
Do not hand over documents or login credentials before you have been advised. Note the deadline in the letter and call us. Depending on the case, a tax audit, a tax investigation or a voluntary disclosure is the right starting point.
What makes you different from other advisers?
We calculate to the standard of a tax audit because Matthias Steger was a tax auditor for nine years. We also run cases before tax courts and know the arguments of both sides. The cases are in our case register.
