German Desk/Danish Desk

    German Desk på dansk

PwC German Desk and Danish Desk offers full service, single point of contact advice for establishing a business across the Danish/German border. We help with e.g. corporate tax, employment conditions, VAT and financial reporting obligations.

Your benefits

  • Single point of contact and full service across borders. Simply contact someone from the German or Dansih Desk of your choice. This person will do the rest, linking with his colleagues on each side of the border as necessary. 
  • Easy communication. All members of the team will speak your language. They are also aware of the financial, legal, tax and accounting backgrounds in both countries, just as they are familiar with the uncertainties often felt by those venturing into a new territory.
  • Rapid solutions. We are in constant contact with all important companies and government agencies in the neighbouring country, including banks, business development agencies, local authorities and trade associations. We can put these contacts to your advantage in the interests of a rapid and appropriate response to your needs.
  • Talk to us. We are here to serve you.

Your needs

Your German or Danish company sees opportunities for growth in the neighbouring country. There are many ways for doing this, ranging from the simple, organisational to the more complex, perhaps involving the establishment of a branch or subsidiary in order to be close to the market. Inevitably, a number of questions will arise in the many fields of company taxation, but also in the areas of social security and other employment obligations, VAT, and accounting requirements, to name but a few. Competent local advice from people thoroughly familiar with both countries becomes a prerequisite for business success. The PwC German/Danish Centre of Competence, our German desk, is there to give you the support you need.
