Prinz Tax Consulting is a German tax advisory firm with a specialisation in serving international clients, expats, and US persons living in Germany. The firm combines deep knowledge of German tax law with expertise in US tax compliance — a rare and valuable combination for Americans in Germany.
For US persons (citizens, green card holders, and certain long-term residents), German residency creates an obligation to file both German and US tax returns annually. Prinz Tax Consulting provides the full range of cross-border tax services: German income tax preparation (Einkommensteuererklärung), US federal and state tax returns, FBAR and FATCA compliance, and strategic advice on structuring affairs to minimise double taxation.
Beyond US-German cross-border tax matters, Prinz also advises expats from other countries on German income tax filing, investment income declarations, rental income taxation, and the tax implications of leaving or arriving in Germany mid-year.
The firm communicates fluently in English and German, provides consultations remotely, and has the technical depth to handle complex situations including self-employment, equity compensation, foreign pension income, and real estate in multiple countries. For expats with multi-jurisdictional tax situations, Prinz Tax Consulting provides the precision that generalist accountants cannot.
