No blanket promises: see which operating facts matter when considering a genuine move from Berlin to Schönefeld for your industry.
Choose your operating model
Each guide connects buyer intent, municipal business-tax basics, genuine presence and a clear next step.
IT, software & SaaS companies
Digital products can be built remotely, but that does not make a company's tax location freely interchangeable. The real place of management and actual business activity remain decisive.

E-commerce & online retail
Online shops sell digitally, while management, fulfilment, warehouses, purchasing and marketing may sit in different places. The complete operating structure must be reviewed before relocation.

Consultancies & agencies
Consultancies and agencies rarely need a large permanent office, but they do need a credible place for management, confidential discussions and client meetings. Flexible premises can fit that model.

Trading, import & export
Trading companies weigh accessibility alongside tax planning. Schönefeld combines a commercial location with BER, motorway and rail connections for supplier, partner and international meetings.

Digital service companies
Remote-first companies are flexible, not locationless. Management, decision paths, staff locations and premises actually used must tell one coherent operational story.

Property service companies
Property management, project coordination, brokerage and facility services must be distinguished from companies limited to holding real estate. Only then can a credible municipal business-tax scenario be prepared.
View industry guideThree questions before any location decision
Is the business subject to municipal business tax?
Legal form, activity, allowances and special rules determine whether municipal business tax applies and at what level.
Is Schönefeld operationally credible?
Management, premises, team, records and daily operations should form a coherent picture in practice.
Does the change make commercial sense?
The calculated tax difference, location costs, transition effort and ongoing duties belong in one overall assessment.
The multiplier is only one part of the decision
The review should cover tax status, actual management, other fixed places, staff and warehouse locations, and industry-specific deductions. We support practical implementation; your advisers determine tax and legal consequences.
Current: 2027 minimum multiplier
A federal minimum multiplier of 280% applies from the 2027 tax period. Read what this means for a Schönefeld/Berlin comparison.
