The Germany Tax Engine
Cassandra's Germany tax engine reasons over German primary sources rather than a generic global model. Answers name the statute, the section, and the Bundeszentralamt für Steuern and BMF guidance relied on, so Steuerberater, Wirtschaftsprüfer, Rechtsanwälte can verify the reasoning before it reaches a client.
Where legislation is amended or guidance is withdrawn, the engine states which version it relied on. Cross-border questions combine this engine with the applicable double tax agreement, the OECD Model Tax Convention commentary, the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, and BEPS Pillar One and Pillar Two materials.
