Roland Elias — the tax advisor behind germantax.io

Why I built an English channel

I grew up in a tax practice. My father founded it in 1972; today I run it as a fully digital firm with a team that works paperless from day one. Over the years the same pattern kept repeating: people move to Germany for a job, a startup or a partner, and nobody ever explains what happens to their money.

On YouTube I started explaining German tax rules in plain language, and the audience grew far beyond what a regional practice ever reaches. GTAXio is the English version of that idea — and germantax.io is where you can turn the videos into actual advice for your own situation.

Who I work with

Employees relocating to Germany, remote workers with foreign contracts, freelancers and creators, crypto and capital-market investors, founders building a GmbH or holding, and people planning to leave Germany again — where exit taxation suddenly matters.

What you get is not a form-filling service. You get someone who tells you what the rules mean for you, what the options cost, and which one I would pick.
