A distinction is made between natural persons and legal entities. Classically, at the beginning of their activity, founders are faced with the question of how they want to carry out their activity. Partnerships or sole proprietorships regularly tax the natural persons behind them (so-called transparency principle). Corporations (e.g. limited liability companies) are independent tax subjects and are subject to their own taxation. What is the right choice of legal form for you cannot be clarified across the board and requires tax advice, as many circumstances have to be considered.

As a rule of thumb, if you are not required to file a tax return, you should not fear additional payments.
