      As Head of International Business Tax, I am happy to be your contact person for all your tax related questions around an investment in Germany. Together with my colleagues from the respective Country Practices (e.g. USA, UK and Japan), we will develop tailor-made and pragmatic solutions for you and your company. We provide tax advice in connection with greenfield investments, M&A transactions as well as your existing investments in Germany.

      My personal focus is on advising foreign investors from various sectors (e.g. automotive industry, mechanical engineering, technology) on their investments in Germany. The focus of my many years of advisory work as the Head of the Country Practice China/Hong Kong (SAR), China/Taiwan is on providing tax advice on complex reorganizations restructurings, M&A transactions, financing structures, tax audits and other cross-border issues. I mainly advise strategic investors and financial investors from China, Hong Kong (SAR), China and Taiwan. I also advise German companies on their investments in China.

      Our Country Practice China/Hong Kong (SAR), China/Taiwan includes a number of colleagues with Chinese language skills and respective experience from working abroad. This allows us to facilitate communication in Chinese and to take into account intercultural aspects when serving our clients. The close collaboration with our colleagues of the global KPMG network through the Global China Practice is another success factor for cross-border projects and building a long-standing and trusting client relationship.
