Our vision

For years, Thomas (Schmitz) worked in organisations where a tax question reached a specialist within the hour. Several countries, large files, someone with real expertise for every part of it. Good conditions to work in. And lopsided, because exactly the same rules apply to the freelancer and the person just starting out, without a department of specialists to call.

While one wrong turn often hits them harder. A structure that doesn’t fit, a relocation without any tax preparation, a deduction you had never heard of. Hence Schmitz Tax Services: the same standard, for those without a department to call.

How we work

Thinking it through before the choice is made

Advice is most effective before anything is signed. A structure, a relocation, a contract: while the decision is still to be made, the tax consequences are part of the decision rather than a result of it. The aim is to prevent unwanted tax consequences, or where they have already arisen, to correct them.

Thinking it through before the choice is made

Explained without the jargon

Complicated rules call for a clear explanation. An advice, a return, a structure: you hear in plain English what is happening and what it means for your situation. That way you can explain a decision yourself, to your business partner, your spouse or your bank.

Explained without the jargon

Price and timeline agreed in advance

After a first discussion of your situation, you receive a description of the work with the corresponding cost and timeline; the work starts once you agree. Recurring work has a fixed fee per period, which is adjusted if the scope of the work structurally changes. Defined advice also has a fixed price. Where the scope cannot be determined upfront, the work is priced in stages.

Price and timeline agreed in advance

One point of contact

You explain your situation once. Your point of contact does not change during an engagement, which means that points of attention can be identified earlier. Running deadlines are also monitored during periods of absence.

Behind Schmitz Tax Services

A small file deserves the same substantiation as a large one. Thomas Schmitz built his practice on that principle: a reasoned answer rather than an assumption, and clear advice that remains verifiable for your business partner, your bank or the Tax Authorities. Where a matter calls for specialist knowledge, a specialist is brought in from the network, without your point of contact changing.

A first conversation

An introductory call is not an intake, and not an advice session. You talk about what you’re working on, I listen and say what stands out, and by the end we both know whether this is a fit and whether advice would be useful. There is no charge for the conversation itself.
