Is there a separate registration fee?

There are two ways to get one. Registration is included in the Standard all-in plan (€1,299/year), which covers preparation of your tax registration questionnaire (Fragebogen zur steuerlichen Erfassung), submission to the German tax office (Finanzamt), and answers to the office's follow-up questions until your German tax number (Steuernummer) is issued, plus every monthly or quarterly and annual filing for the year. Or you can buy registration only for €499 one-time: we get you the numbers and hand them over, our mandate ends when both the Steuernummer and the VAT ID are issued and we then withdraw our power of attorney, and VAT returns are not included. If you plan to file with us anyway the all-in costs less: €499 plus the €1,099 yearly filing plan comes to €1,598 in year one, against €1,299 for the Standard all-in. If you already hold a German VAT number you do not need registration at all: that is the €99/month or €1,099/year filing plan.
