How TaxPro stopped enforcement of high income tax claims
Initial situation: Income tax assessments with immediate enforcement
A TaxPro client living in Switzerland was confronted with high income tax back payments from the German tax authorities for two years. The total amount – including interest and solidarity surcharge – amounted to over €97,000.
What is particularly critical is that the notices were announced shortly before the end of the year, with immediate due date and the threat of immediate enforcement.
Without a quick response, the client would have been threatened with seizure of assets, accounts or income – even though the tax calculation had not yet been finally reviewed.

Strategy: TaxPro files a legally sound application for protection from enforcement
TaxPro applied for a court-relevant suspension of enforcement pursuant to Section 361 of the Fiscal Code (AO) – with the aim of gaining time for the legal review and objection without causing economic damage.
Result: Enforcement stopped – full amount in dispute secured for the time being
The tax office completely suspended enforcement of income tax, interest and solidarity surcharge for 2022 as well as income tax for 2021
Only one sub-area (Soli 2021) was not suspended initially – the process is still ongoing
The client remains protected from enforcement until the matter is finally resolved
What you should take away from this:
Even with high tax demands, you can effectively defend yourself against immediate enforcement
TaxPro knows the requirements for suspension applications – and regularly achieves positive decisions
This procedure is part of a series of similar cases that TaxPro has been handling with a very high success rate
TaxPro specializes in enforcement protection in complex income tax proceedings – and has successfully enforced stays of enforcement in numerous cases.
