Exemption for commercial activities of tax advisors
Basic information
Tax advisors and tax agents must exercise their profession independently, on their own responsibility, conscientiously, discreetly and by refraining from advertising that is contrary to their profession.
. They shall refrain from any activity that is incompatible with their profession or with the reputation of the profession. Activities that are incompatible with the profession of tax advisor and tax agent are deemed to be, in particular, commercial activities; the competent chamber of tax advisors may, however, permit exceptions to this prohibition, insofar as the activity is not expected to violate professional duties.
Requirements
A second or secondary commercial activity must not jeopardize reliable compliance with the tax advisor's general professional duties. This is the case, for example, if the commercial activity is only of subordinate scope. This is a case-by-case examination and decision; more detailed information is available from the Bremen Chamber of Tax Consultants.
