Trading, import & export: municipal business tax and a Schönefeld base

How your company can use the location

• Management or central trading decisions genuinely take place in Schönefeld
• Warehouses, sales locations and other sites are fully mapped
• The BER location provides a real operational benefit

Evidence that may fit this operating model

No universal checklist guarantees a tax result. Relevant records can, however, make the real operating facts easier to understand:

• Supplier and terms negotiations
• Purchasing, inventory and risk approvals
• Partner meetings near BER
• A complete list of warehouses and sales sites

Our services and their limits

Available at the location

• A genuinely usable Schönefeld business address
• Optional mail handling, coworking, meeting room and private office
• Practical guidance on choosing and setting up the location

Not part of our service

• Tax or legal advice, or guaranteed tax outcomes
• A mailbox-only arrangement without credible operating use
• Binding promises about future multipliers or authority timing

When a relocation may not make sense

Schönefeld is not a universal tax solution. A move may be unsuitable where:

• Management and material decisions genuinely remain in Berlin.
• There is no credible use or operating function at the new location.
• Other fixed places create a complex allocation of the tax base.
• The expected difference does not justify location costs, transition work and ongoing obligations.

Especially relevant for this industry: Where a business has fixed places in several municipalities, the tax base may be allocated between them. A registered address alone does not automatically move all taxable business income.
