Exemption from the requirement of capital commitment for "existing companies" pursuant to § 154 Abs. 2 StBerG
For the recognition of tax consulting firms, the capital commitment regulation according to § 50a Steuerberatungsgesetz (StBerG) is of central importance. In principle, only professionals should be shareholders. For companies that were already recognised before this provision came into force, there is grandfathering. If the number of shareholders of these companies changes, recognition must normally be revoked by the competent authority. In individual cases, recognition may not be revoked due to an exemption.
Who should I contact?
The responsibility lies with the Chamber of Tax Consultants, in whose chamber district the company has its registered office.
