Berliner Steuergespräche

The aim of the quarterly talks is to implement an exchange of experiences from different perspectives - not a navel-gazing of tax law, rather a reflection of the decisions of the legislature and their effects on tax law practice. In order to establish a forum for scientific discourse in the long term, the Berliner Steuergespräche e.V. was founded on December 2, 2002. The Berliner Steuergespräche (Berlin Tax Talks) are designed as a combination of lectures and discussions. Two invited speakers present an overview of the theme of the respective event. This is followed by statements from various panel members before the discussion continues in the plenary session. The discussion is chaired by one of the association’s board members.

The purpose of the Berliner Steuergespräche e.V. is to promote tax law in the fields of science, research and education by supporting and organizing tax-related expert talks and discussions between government representatives, tax lawyers, members of the tax consulting professions, the judiciary and the administration, as well as representatives from research, education and other experts.

The board is made up of Prof. Dr. Johanna Hey, Director of the Institute for Tax Law at the University of Cologne (Chairwoman), the President of the Federal Fiscal Court Dr. Hans-Josef Thesling, Dr. Nils Weith (Head of the Tax Department at the Federal Ministry of Finance) and the lawyers Berthold Welling and Dr. Andreas Richter, LL.M. The Chairmen of the Academic Advisory Board provided for in the Articles of Association are the President of the Berlin-Brandenburg Fiscal Court, Prof. Dr. Thomas Stapperfend, and Meinhard Wittwer (Judge at the Federal Fiscal Court). The management is in the hands of attorney Berthold Welling and attorney Dr. Andreas Richter.
