The community, which is very rich thanks to many companies, doesn’t even want to know whether the companies registered in the town are actually based there. This is also documented in a case in which a community representative had to testify as a witness to the tax investigation. It was a revealing interrogation.
A representative of the municipality of Grünwald who is summoned to the tax investigation because the Munich suburb is a tax haven – what is going on there? Is the community now really in trouble because of its low business tax rates and because of the many companies that are based there in obvious pseudo-offices? Yes and no. The man from the town hall who had to testify to the Munich tax investigation office three months ago was only a witness; no accused.
