You should also keep an eye on the deadlines for filing tax returns.

If you prepare the tax return for 2020 with your tax advisor it's due by 31st of May 2022.

Your tax return for 2021 without a tax consultant, is due by July 31 2022 at the latest. And if you hire a tax consultant, the deadline will be extended to the end of February 2023.

Regardless of the yearly tax report, you might also need to report the trade tax. It depends on your sales volume if you have to report it monthly, quarterly, or just once a year.
