Lohnsteuerhilfe Bayern e. V.

Founded in 1966, Lohnsteuerhilfe Bayern e. V. (commonly known as "Lohi") is one of Germany's largest income tax assistance associations. As a non-profit organization, its mission is to provide affordable tax consulting services exclusively to its members, who are typically employees, pensioners, and retirees. The association's scope of service is legally defined by Germany's Tax Consultancy Act (§ 4 No. 11 StBerG), focusing on income from non-self-employed work and other specific income types. Members pay an annual, socially-staggered fee which covers all services for that tax year, including the preparation of tax returns, review of tax assessments, and legal representation in tax court if necessary.
