Steuerstrafrecht – Anwalt für Flörsheim
A visit from the tax investigators in the early morning – simultaneously at the business and at home – is one of the most traumatic experiences a business owner can have. Whether as the accused or as an uninvolved third party, every decision counts in that moment. Anyone who reacts incorrectly now risks serious errors that are almost impossible to correct later.
For food service businesses in Flörsheim – kebab shops, pizzerias, Asian takeaways, bakeries, kiosks – the risk of tax evasion proceedings is particularly real. The Hofheim am Taunus tax office scrutinizes cash-intensive sectors closely. During a tax audit, cash register data is analyzed, cost of goods sold is calculated, and standard rates are compared. If discrepancies are found, the situation can escalate quickly: from an estimated tax assessment to suspicion of tax evasion under Section 370 of the German Fiscal Code (AO), and from a tax audit to the initiation of a criminal investigation.
The Frankfurt tax investigation office, which is responsible for Flörsheim, works closely with the fines and criminal proceedings office. Searches are coordinated, seizures are prepared, and interrogations are conducted. In this situation, you need immediate legal support – someone to represent your rights against the officials and accompany you throughout the entire process.
But legal advice can also be beneficial preventively. Together with your tax advisor, we develop compliance systems designed to prevent tax-related administrative offenses or crimes. After all, the best tax evasion case is the one that never takes place.
Attorney Ibrahim Çakır, a specialist in tax law, represents clients from Flörsheim in all phases of tax evasion proceedings. We are approximately 20 minutes from our Frankfurt office at Opernplatz – and can be on-site at short notice in emergencies.

FAQ – Tax Criminal Law for Flörsheim
1. Which tax office and which tax investigation unit are responsible for Flörsheim?
The tax office in Hofheim am Taunus is responsible for Flörsheim am Main. In cases of suspected tax evasion, the Frankfurt tax investigation office is contacted, which investigates for the entire Main-Taunus district.
2. What should I do if the tax investigation unit shows up at my door?
Remain calm and cooperative, but do not make any statements regarding the matter. You have the right to consult a lawyer before answering any questions. Call us immediately – we will be there as soon as possible.
3. When does a tax audit become a tax evasion case?
As soon as the auditor has sufficient suspicion of tax evasion under Section 370 of the German Fiscal Code (AO), they must refer the matter to the tax enforcement and criminal proceedings office or the tax investigation unit. From this moment on, you have the right to remain silent.
4. What are the penalties for tax evasion under Section 370 of the German Fiscal Code (AO)?
Tax evasion is a criminal offense. It is punishable by fines or imprisonment for up to five years, and in particularly serious cases, up to ten years. In addition, there are back taxes, interest payments, and possible professional disqualifications.

We can be reached at short notice during searches. From our Frankfurt office at Opernplatz, we can be on-site for clients in Flörsheim in approximately 20 minutes. Call us: +49 69 348696830.
Self-reporting – Advice for Flörsheim
The decision for or against a voluntary disclosure under Section 371 of the German Fiscal Code (AO) is one of the most important decisions a taxpayer can make. It requires a comprehensive analysis of all tax-related transactions – and it brooks no delay. The window of opportunity for a self-disclosure that grants immunity from prosecution often closes faster than those affected realize.
For clients from Flörsheim with Turkish bank accounts, the situation is particularly urgent. The automatic exchange of information (AEOI) between Turkey and Germany ensures that account data is systematically transmitted to the Hofheim am Taunus tax office. Interest income, dividends, rental income from Turkey – all of this may already be on file with the tax office. As soon as the offense is discovered, the data is blocked, and immunity from prosecution is no longer possible.
Before filing a voluntary disclosure, a thorough analysis and assessment of the expected consequences is conducted. We work closely with your tax advisor to fully investigate all tax-related matters – including those occurring abroad. A voluntary disclosure must be complete: all unexpired tax evasions of a particular type must be disclosed. In addition, the evaded taxes plus interest must be paid on time. For evaded amounts exceeding €25,000 per offense, a surcharge pursuant to Section 398a of the German Fiscal Code (AO) is added.
The potential consequences of a voluntary disclosure – for example, in the areas of social security law or business reliability checks – are often overlooked. We incorporate these aspects into our consultations from the outset.
Lawyer Ibrahim Çakır, an expert in tax law, advises clients from Flörsheim on the preparation and filing of voluntary disclosures. We are approximately 20 minutes from our Frankfurt office at Opernplatz.

FAQ – Self-reporting for Flörsheim
1. Which tax office is responsible for a voluntary disclosure from Flörsheim?
The Hofheim am Taunus tax office is responsible for Flörsheim am Main. There, your voluntary disclosure pursuant to Section 371 of the German Fiscal Code (AO) will be processed and examined to determine whether the conditions for immunity from prosecution are met.
2. What does the automatic exchange of information mean for Turkish accounts?
Since the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) agreement, Turkey has been reporting account balances, interest, and capital gains of German taxpayers annually to the Federal Central Tax Office. This data is forwarded to the Hofheim tax office – the discovery of the offense may have already occurred as a result.
3. When is self-reporting no longer possible?
Self-disclosure is no longer possible once a blocking effect occurs – for example, through notification of an audit, the appearance of an auditor, or the initiation of tax evasion proceedings. Even if the offense has already been discovered, immunity from prosecution is no longer attainable.
4. What costs will I incur if I file a voluntary disclosure?
You must pay the evaded taxes in full, plus interest of 0.5 percent per month. For amounts of tax evaded exceeding €25,000 per offense, a surcharge of between 10 and 20 percent is added according to Section 398a of the German Fiscal Code (AO).
5. How quickly can the KSW law firm help if a crime is about to be discovered?
If we suspect tax evasion, we act immediately. We work closely with your tax advisor to prepare the voluntary disclosure as quickly as possible. From our Frankfurt office, we are reachable for clients from Flörsheim in approximately 20 minutes.
Tax assessment objection – Lawyer for Flörsheim
Has the Hofheim am Taunus tax office issued a tax assessment notice with which you disagree? Then you have the right to appeal it. An objection under Section 347 of the German Fiscal Code (AO) is free of charge and gives you the opportunity to have incorrect assessment notices corrected – provided you act promptly and correctly.
The objection period is one month from the date of notification. Anyone who misses this deadline loses their right to appeal – even if the decision is clearly incorrect. In complex cases, we initially file an objection to preserve the deadline and then provide a detailed justification once we have fully analyzed the case.
For food service businesses in Flörsheim – kebab shops, pizzerias, Asian restaurants, bakeries – a tax audit often ends with an estimated tax assessment. The tax office rejects the accounting records due to formal deficiencies and determines the tax base itself. These estimates are often drastically inflated because they ignore business-specific factors such as location, menu, or opening hours. In these cases, filing an objection is particularly worthwhile.
An objection alone does not stop the payment obligation. The tax office can still enforce the assessment despite ongoing proceedings – through account seizure, seizure of assets, and enforcement proceedings. Therefore, we are simultaneously applying for a stay of execution. If there are serious doubts about the legality of the assessment, the tax office must suspend enforcement. If the tax office issues an amended assessment during the proceedings, this automatically becomes part of the objection.

FAQ – Objection to tax assessment for Flörsheim
1. Which tax office is responsible for appeals from Flörsheim?
The Hofheim am Taunus tax office is responsible for Flörsheim am Main. Your objection will be processed there in accordance with Section 347 of the German Fiscal Code (AO). The procedure is free of charge – the tax office is not permitted to charge any fees.
2. What is an estimated assessment notice and can I appeal it?
An estimated tax assessment is issued when the tax office rejects your accounting records and determines the tax base itself. These estimates are often contestable – either because the tax office was not authorized to make the estimate or because the calculation is incorrect.
3. How can I prevent the tax office from enforcing my claim despite filing an objection?
With an application for a stay of execution (AdV), we can have the enforcement suspended until a decision is reached on your objection. If there are serious doubts about the legality of the assessment, the tax office must grant the stay.
4. What happens if the tax office issues an amended assessment notice during the objection process?
An amended decision automatically becomes part of the ongoing objection proceedings. You do not need to file a new objection, but you should have the changes carefully reviewed.
5. How quickly can the KSW law firm help if the objection period is still running?
If a deadline is approaching, we act immediately. If necessary, we will initially file an unfounded objection to meet the deadline. From our Frankfurt office at Opernplatz, we are approximately 20 minutes away for clients from Flörsheim.
Restaurant audit – Lawyer for Flörsheim
An external audit by the Hofheim tax office means that your entire business will be scrutinized – not just individual issues. The results can work in your favor, but also against you. This is particularly important for restaurants in Flörsheim, as cash-intensive businesses are under special scrutiny.
Doner kebab restaurants, pizzerias, Asian takeaways, and bakeries are being systematically audited by the tax office. The focus is on the TSE-compliant cash register system. An unannounced cash register inspection pursuant to Section 146b of the German Fiscal Code (AO) can take place at any time – the auditor will appear during business hours and demand access to your cash register data, Z-receipts, and individual transaction records. Formal deficiencies are immediately documented: missing daily closing statements, undocumented cancellations, gaps in receipt numbering.
If such deficiencies are identified, the tax office rejects the accounting records. Then the benchmark comparison comes into play: your gross profit margin is compared with industry averages, and the cost of goods sold is extrapolated. The resulting additional assessment is often based on the upper end of the benchmark rates – without considering company-specific factors such as location, pricing, or personnel costs.
The risk of a worse outcome is real. What begins as a routine audit can end in substantial additional tax assessments – or even in criminal tax proceedings if the auditor suspects tax evasion. Therefore, legal counsel is advisable from the outset: when reviewing the audit order, when answering follow-up questions, and during the final meeting.
Lawyer Ibrahim Çakır, an expert in tax law, assists restaurants in Flörsheim through all phases of tax audits. We are approximately 20 minutes from our Frankfurt office at Opernplatz.

FAQ – Betriebsprüfung Gastronomie für Flörsheim
1. Welches Finanzamt führt Betriebsprüfungen für Gastronomiebetriebe aus Flörsheim durch?
Für Flörsheim am Main ist das Finanzamt Hofheim am Taunus zuständig. Die dortige Betriebsprüfungsstelle führt Außenprüfungen durch und ordnet Kassennachschauen an.
2. Was bedeutet "Verböserung" bei einer Betriebsprüfung?
Eine Außenprüfung kann auch zu Ihren Lasten ausgehen. Wenn der Prüfer Mängel entdeckt, die bisher nicht aufgefallen waren, können zusätzliche Nachforderungen entstehen – auch für Sachverhalte, die ursprünglich nicht im Fokus standen.
3. Wie funktioniert ein Richtsatzvergleich bei Gastronomiebetrieben?
Das Finanzamt vergleicht Ihren Rohgewinnaufschlag mit Branchendurchschnittswerten. Aus dem gemeldeten Wareneinsatz wird ein erwarteter Umsatz berechnet. Liegt Ihr Wert darunter, folgt eine Hinzuschätzung.
4. Kann ich mich gegen eine Hinzuschätzung wehren?
Ja. Hinzuschätzungen sind oft anfechtbar – etwa wenn betriebsindividuelle Faktoren ignoriert wurden oder die Berechnungsmethode fehlerhaft ist. Wir prüfen die Schätzungsgrundlagen und legen bei Bedarf Einspruch ein.
5. Wie kann die Kanzlei KSW bei einer Betriebsprüfung helfen?
Wir begleiten Sie von der Prüfungsanordnung bis zur Schlussbesprechung, prüfen die Methodik des Finanzamts und verhindern, dass sich die Prüfung zu Ihren Lasten entwickelt. Von unserem Frankfurter Standort sind wir für Mandanten aus Flörsheim in etwa 20 Minuten erreichbar.
