Accounting assistant - Registration

Do you want to become self-employed in the field of accounting assistance? The Tax Consultancy Act and the Legal Services Act impose strict limits on your intended activity. For example, assistance in tax matters or accounting assistance is reserved for tax consultants. Advice on employment or social security matters reserved for lawyers is also prohibited. With regard to the remaining activities, the law distinguishes between those activities that may be carried out by anyone and those for which a further qualification is required. In all cases, however, a business must be registered.

No further documents are required in addition to the documents you must submit for business registration.

Different fees and costs apply depending on the municipality.

Registration of the trade is due immediately upon commencement of the commercial activity. If you register late, you must expect a fine.
