Emigrate securely
with strategy and tax foresight
Emigration is more than just moving to a new country. It means new opportunities, new freedoms – but also new tax and legal challenges. For your fresh start in Dubai to succeed, early and professional planning is crucial.
We accompany you step by step: from tax deregistration in Germany and avoiding unnecessary tax pitfalls to the optimal structuring of your assets and business.
This way, we ensure that you are not only legally secure but also make the most of your move from a tax perspective.
With our experience as specialized tax consultants, we are your reliable partner – before, during, and after emigration.
Our 3-Step Plan for Your Emigration
1. Initial Consultation & Analysis
We discuss your personal situation, your goals, and expectations. We clarify tax and legal frameworks, potential risks, and the next steps.
2. Planning & Preparation
We develop a tailored strategy: from tax deregistration in Germany to choosing the right company or residence structure, and the first steps in Dubai. This way, you are optimally prepared and avoid mistakes.
3. Ongoing Support
We also support you after your arrival – whether with opening a bank account, company formation, ongoing tax matters, or building your new existence. You always have a competent contact person by your side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here we have compiled the most common answers to tax questions regarding emigration.
Yes, deregistration with the registration office is mandatory. Without it, you will still be considered resident in Germany and remain subject to unlimited tax liability.
Exit taxation affects shareholders with stakes in corporations (e.g., GmbH) if they hold at least 1%. It simulates a sale of the shares at the time of emigration. An individual review is essential.
That depends on your income. Income from German sources (e.g., real estate, participations) remains taxable in Germany. Income from Dubai is generally tax-free.
Yes, a DTA has been in place since 2010. It regulates in which country income is taxed and protects against double taxation.
Yes, that is possible. However, permanent establishment risks and tax obligations in Germany may remain. Early tax structuring is advisable.
Statutory pensions are generally also paid abroad. However, tax liability in Germany may remain. Private pension contracts must be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Important documents include the deregistration certificate, current tax returns, and, if applicable, proof of income or participations.
Yes – especially because there is no income tax in Dubai. But: incorrect structuring can lead to you remaining taxable in Germany.
Yes, we advise on the appropriate legal form (Freezone, Mainland, Offshore) and support you with the tax and organizational aspects of company formation.
