Managing trade tax can be very time-consuming. Inconsistent handling in the municipalities, numerous official responsibilities, the linking of chamber contributions (IHK and HWK) and a flood of notices: These factors alone make the management of trade tax complex. Add to this the regular registration, re-registration and deregistration of individual business establishments, different apportionment scales and several companies to be managed, and tax managers are faced with a time-consuming task that ties up a lot of their capacity. In addition, the preliminary calculation of trade tax with different assessment rates is tricky.
