Income tax assist­ance.
Simple. Personal.
Digital.

A Lohnsteuerhilfeverein advises employees, retirees and other members on tax matters within the scope of the statutory authority under § 4 No. 11 StBerG. This includes in particular preparing the income tax return and checking the tax assessment. CUCO offers these services both digitally and in person on site.
