You can use British Limiteds in Germany as well. It's all part of EU goodness.

That's true, you can.

On the other side, tax authorities actively try to punish foreign companies operating in Germany with taxes like the Außensteuergesetz (AStG); applicability varies from country to country, from case to case, and in my experience if you ask two accountants whether your Ltd is subject to AStG, you'll get 2 opposite answers.

Thanks for mentioning the Außensteuergesetz. I wonder how they square that with EU competition rules.
