Have you run a sole proprietorship in Germany and want to end it? Liquidation of a company (Gewerbe) requires completing specific formalities with German authorities. Failure to report the closure of the business may result in further tax assessments, contributions and payment notices.
We will handle the entire process of liquidating your sole proprietorship in Germany - efficiently, safely and in accordance with applicable regulations. We can carry out the entire process remotely - you do not need to visit German offices or fill in additional documents.

Closing a sole proprietorship in Germany is not just submitting one form. It requires reporting the liquidation to the appropriate institutions and correctly settling the business.
In practice, it is necessary, among other things, to:
report the end of business activity
inform the German tax office
organize tax matters and settlements
close VAT obligations (if applicable)
end other registrations connected with the business
Incorrect or incomplete reporting of the liquidation may lead to further financial obligations, even though the company is in fact no longer operating.

As long as Gewerbe in Germany is listed as active, the authorities treat the company as operating. In practice, this means:
further tax assessments and advance payments
the obligation to submit tax and VAT returns
requests for explanations and official correspondence
risk of enforcement proceedings
