Tax advisers in Hamburg

Hamburg applies a trade tax multiplier (Hebesatz) of 470 % in 2026. A sole proprietor with €50,000 trade income pays (€50,000 − €24,500 allowance) × 3.5 % × 470 % = €4,194.75. Under § 35 EStG four times the tax base is credited against income tax, so about €624.75 remains as an extra cost.
