In the first part of the paper a brief overview of the available legal forms in Germany was given. Furthermore the criteria for the choice of a legal form were briefly presented.

It was identified that for taxation of sole proprietorships and partnerships the unit or transparency principle is used. The tax types income tax and company tax were analyzed. Considering these taxes the total tax burden for Sole Proprietorship was evaluated. Finally the transformation of the legal form as a way of tax savings was analyzed.
