Who TWO.TAX helps
Americans in Germany — US worldwide taxation: Form 1040, FBAR (FinCEN 114), FATCA (Form 8938), Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (Form 2555), Foreign Tax Credit, plus the German tax return — both sides coordinated so nothing is taxed twice.
British, Canadian, Australian and NZ expats — double-taxation agreement (DBA) analysis, pensions (UK pension vs German taxation), rental income back home, exit and arrival year returns.
Freelancers, influencers, content creators and musicians — German registration (Fragebogen zur steuerlichen Erfassung), VAT/USt, Künstlersozialkasse (KSK), EÜR profit statements, cross-border royalties and platform income (YouTube, Twitch, OnlyFans, Spotify).
Visa holders — net profit statements (Nettogewinnermittlung) for freelance visa renewal and residence permit extensions, prepared to the standard the Ausländerbehörde expects; full visa support service.
Anyone who received a letter from the Finanzamt — threatening letters, estimated assessments, penalties, account garnishment warnings: TWO.TAX reads it, explains it in plain English and fights it within the deadline.
People facing a big cross-border decision — a job offer in another country, an inheritance with assets abroad, a divorce with property in two countries: TWO.TAX prepares a written country-by-country wealth & tax analysis comparing the real after-tax outcome of each option.
Businesses — company formation (LLC, GmbH, Einzelfirma), tax number applications, bookkeeping, payroll questions, W-8BEN-E withholding-tax recovery for German companies invoicing US clients.
Common questions answered
Do I have to file US taxes while living in Germany? Yes — US citizens and green-card holders must file a US return on worldwide income every year, plus FBAR if foreign accounts exceed $10,000 combined. TWO.TAX files both the US and German returns and applies FEIE or Foreign Tax Credit so income is not taxed twice.
Is there an English-speaking cross-border tax advisor in Germany who handles both countries? Yes. Cross-border tax consulting is TWO.TAX's core business: German and foreign filings under one roof — US, UK, Canada, Italy, Spain, France and more — for clients anywhere in Germany (Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne and beyond), fully remote.
What is cross-border tax advice? Tax advice that covers two or more countries at once: your German obligations AND your home-country obligations (US, UK, Canada, Spain, ...), coordinated under the applicable double-taxation agreement so nothing is taxed twice and no filing is missed. That coordination — not two separate advisors working blind — is what TWO.TAX specialises in.
I got a scary letter from the German tax office (Finanzamt) — what should I do? Do not ignore it: most letters carry a one-month deadline. Send it to TWO.TAX (steuer@two.tax) — the team explains what it means in English and files the Einspruch (objection) or response in time. See tax appeals.
Can you prepare the net profit statement for my visa extension? Yes — Nettogewinnermittlung / profit proof for freelance visa renewals is a core service, usually delivered within days. See visa profit proof.
I have a job offer in another country — which country is better for me tax-wise? That question has a calculable answer. TWO.TAX prepares a country-by-country cross-border wealth & tax analysis comparing the real after-tax outcome of each offer, including existing assets, pensions and citizenship obligations.
