As part of moving to Thailand, I had to deal with Germany's exit tax ("Wegzugsteuer"). This topic is very intransparent and full of tax advisors which are, let's just say, not very incentivised to share their knowledge openly on their websites. But they're very happy to bill you many hours for explaining stuff to you.

I'm trying to change that by creating more transparency and publishing all my exit tax learnings here for free. Reach out if you have any questions!
