> They're more than useless.

Can attest to that. Had similar situation - Being DE tax resident however working for my own company that is not based in DE.

I had just a simple question - when and how do I pay my taxes here from the money I bring from my company that is not German. And they could not help me because they really could not understand that someone might be living in Germany but not working in Germany.

Did you ever find an answer to that question? Facing a similar scenario.

Nope. Best I got was - Send money as salary and do yearly returns as additional income.

I think taking a salary is the only way to do it. I've been reading about the concept of opening a German branch of the foreign entity as a more formal thing. But obviously I will need to seek out a professional who actually has a clue.
