VAT specialists
The combination of the three German VAT rates (19%, 7% and 0%) does not only result in 26% but also leads to many questions which we are happy to answer. It does not matter if you are a small or a big company, if you look for ongoing or one-off advice. Finally, it is the value added to your business that counts. Have we sparked your interest?

My studies in commerce sparked my interest in the tax law. I want to help you avoid costly legal disputes with the tax authorities. In this regard I can draw from my former job as a tax auditor.
During my employment at Ernst & Young (EY) I built up and led a team of VAT experts. At that time I was able to further develop my skills in the field of VAT. Since 2004 I have worked as a self-employed tax consultant specializing in VAT. To highlight the particular profile of our firm it was renamed in 2011 as:
nesemann – umsatz | steuer | beratung
I am focused on the VAT issues of cross-border trade and financial services, as well as VAT questions in the real estate industry. In addition to sports, my family is the center of my private life.

I studied economics in Goettingen and hold a doctorate from the International Tax Institute (IIFS) / University of Hamburg. In my first 7 years on the job I learned the ropes of tax consultancy at Susat & Partner OHG, a mid-sized tax consultany and accounting firm in Hamburg. Although I basically covered all tax areas, I fully focused on VAT after passing the tax advisor exam. Concluding my one-year assignment in London on VAT (at Grant Thornton) I came to PWC Hamburg, where I worked as a Senior Manager in the Hamburg indirect tax team.
In my initial meetings with Carsten it quickly became clear to me that a move into a fully VAT-focused tax practice would be an exciting challenge for me. I not only like to take economic risks, but also appreciate the possibility to independently advise my clients in such a complex area which requires both technical and communication skills. VAT is not just my profession but almost a hobby which means that I also think about VAT in my spare time (we have 4 children at the age of 4, 9, 15 and 20).
My focus is in the service sector (such as electronic services, maritime business, logistics and event services). I closely observe developments at the EU level because the continuing lack of harmonization bears not only risks but also opportunities.
