German exit tax is an engineering project, not a form.
Exit tax with 7-year installment plans, security requirements, and complex timing. The UAE structure must be ready before you trigger the exit.
What changed
Germany tightened exit tax rules since 2022. Deferred payment was replaced with a mandatory installment plan (typically 7 years) plus security requirements. The tax applies to unrealized gains on shares in companies where you hold 1%+ ownership.
What's at stake
- Exit tax on unrealized capital gains (can be hundreds of thousands)
- Security deposit or bank guarantee required for installment plan
- Incorrect timing can trigger both German and UAE tax obligations simultaneously
