Influencers, athletes & artists
Whether you are a professional athlete, performing artist, model or digital creator, anyone who operates in the public sphere is not only on stage or in the spotlight - but often also at the centre of tax and economic complexity.
Income from engagements, advertising partnerships or international co-operations, complex questions of social security, VAT or the optimal choice of legal form require sound specialised knowledge.
Our law firm offers exactly that: personalised tax advice at eye level, tailored to the special requirements of the sports, arts and digital media industries. Our specialists not only understand the special features of these professional groups, but also use our expertise in a targeted manner to minimise your tax burden and identify legal risks at an early stage.
Our range of services includes the complete preparation of your tax returns, the appropriate delimitation of income, optimisation comparisons (for example between the „sportsman's exemption“ and standard taxation) as well as professional support when setting up a company, operating abroad or changing legal form. For influencers, we examine the tax treatment of product placements, affiliate income and business relationships at home and abroad. For athletes, correct accounting in the context of employment relationships can be important.
As experienced consultants with an international network, we offer you forward-looking advice, transparent fees and, above all, the freedom to concentrate fully on your career.
