Fachprüfung Steuerberater case studies

The Fachprüfung Steuerberater - also known as the Steuerberaterprüfung - is the German state professional examination that confers the title Steuerberater/in, the qualification required to give unrestricted tax advice and to represent clients before the tax authorities and fiscal courts. It is aimed at practitioners with several years of tax experience: accountants, tax clerks, lawyers, economists and auditors who want to move into independent advisory work or partnership. The written and oral examination is deliberately broad. It spans procedural and general tax law, income, corporate and trade tax, balance-sheet tax law and business taxation, VAT, inheritance and gift tax with valuation law, ancillary taxes and international aspects, business administration and accounting, commercial and civil law, and the professional code of conduct. The Fachprüfung Steuerberater case studies are 5 cases and about 2,807 words.
