Neues Beratungsangebot: Tax Law Clinics: Studierende bieten kostenlose Steuerhilfe
Kostenlose Steuerhilfe durch Studierende: Ab September 2026 gibt’s fachlich betreute Beratung für Steuerzahler – ganz ohne Rechnung.
Starting September 1, 2026, a new type of tax advice service will be allowed in Germany: Tax Law Clinics. This new service is made possible by a reform of the Tax Consultation Act, which creates a legal basis for student-led tax consultation. The goal is to give future tax law experts more hands-on experience while providing a free resource for people with simple tax questions.
Daniela Karbe-Geßler from the Association of Taxpayers explains that students do not provide independent advice, but only under the guidance and supervision of a highly qualified person, such as a tax consultant. This ensures that the advice given by students remains professionally sound. Tax Law Clinics can only operate within the organizational framework of a university or a similar institution and must provide only free assistance.
For taxpayers, this means that from September 2026, receiving support from a Tax Law Clinic will provide them with legally sound and professionally guided advice, all at no cost.
