Associations

At the present time, there are approximately 700 approved payroll tax assistance associations with around 17,000 consulting centers in the Federal Republic of Germany, which provide assistance to around 3 million members. Most of these are organized in umbrella associations such as the Neuer Verband der Lohnsteuerhilfevereine [New Association of Payroll Tax Assistance Associations] (NVL e.V.)  and the Bundesverband der Lohnsteuerhilfevereine [German Federal Association of Payroll Tax Assistance Associations] (BDL e.V.), but in both a legal and a commercial sense they all work completely independently. For this reason, members who want to change their consulting center and not to remain within the same association must submit written notice of termination in advance, subject to the relevant notice periods.

As represented by the Management Board, DLG Lohnsteuerhilfeverein [Payroll Tax Assistance Association] is a member of the Bund der Steuerzahler [German Taxpayers’ Federation].
