Abstract

The new section 89b of the German Fiscal Code finally introduces a legal basis for international risk assessment procedures. Under these procedures, which are designed for cooperation and transparency, the tax administrations of two or more jurisdictions must at the request of the taxpayer provide an assessment of any tax default risks for facts already realized. If the risk is assessed as low, a formal review of these facts in a subsequent tax audit may be redundant.
