Stephan Scheffold

Stephan Scheffold specialises in the area of corporate and transaction tax law.

He also advises wealthy private individuals and family (companies) on company and asset succession. As part of a "succession readiness check", the tax implications of a gift or inheritance can be simulated and specific recommendations for action can be derived. Stephan Scheffold has in-depth experience in the utilisation of inheritance tax exemption regulations (e.g. Sections 13a, 13b ErbStG and Section 28a ErbStG for so-called large acquisitions) as well as the associated declaration obligations (e.g. company valuations and declarations for inheritance tax purposes).

Furthermore, he advises on reorganisations within the framework of the German Reorganisation Tax Act and supports clients on tax issues relating to international corporate taxation (double taxation agreements, add-back taxation, exit taxation).

Mr Scheffold is also a lecturer at the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University in Stuttgart in the field of "Valuation and Inheritance Tax".
