The GmbH is the most widespread legal form in German business. In addition to this, the GmbH is the most preferred by foreign investors when founding a German company, and also by foreign companies when founding an entity in Germany.

The income of a GmbH is subject to corporate tax, the solidarity surcharge, and local business tax. Tax on turnover (VAT) applies in Germany essentially independently of the company's legal form and is explained in more detail on the next page.

To set up a GmbH, at least one founding shareholder is required, that is either a natural or legal person, but it can also be another legally capable company (e.g. OHG, KG). The person can be based in Germany but this is not a legal requirement.The nominal capital required for founding is at least 25,000 euros. An alternative to this is an asset-based foundation, whereby the contributed economic goods (real estate, company shares, machines etc.) must also have a common value of at least 25,000 euros.
