Sebastian Sauerborn

About Sebastian

Sebastian Sauerborn is the founder of Perspektive Ausland and one of the best-known German-speaking experts on international tax planning and emigration. Since 2006 he has helped entrepreneurs, freelancers and families lower their tax burden legally, protect their wealth and take back control of their lives, backed by a network of local experts in more than 20 countries.

In the Ireland consultation three subjects lead: non-dom status with the remittance basis and clean capital, the road to Irish citizenship for the whole family, and the questions of leaving at home, above all what your home country still taxes on your way out. This is exactly the point where Sebastian works: what happens to your company, your residence, your family and your wealth when you change country.

Ideal for a tax health check before your move to Ireland, for families with capital.

Background

Growing up on three borders

Having grown up where Germany, Switzerland and France meet, Sebastian learned early on to think beyond borders. At 22 he began his career with PwC in Zurich; four intense years laid the foundations for everything that came after. In 2003 an offer from Allianz took him to London. What was meant to be a short posting became almost a decade in the corporate world, before he founded his own advisory practice in London in 2006.

The Ireland years

In 2014 Sebastian himself moved to Ireland with his children and lived in Lismore in County Waterford, right in the region between Wexford, Waterford and Cork. School, house, authorities, daily life: he has been through the programme his clients have ahead of them, and that experience goes into every consultation. What that year looked like is told in his Lismore chapter.

Strategic advice for independent-minded clients

Today the team looks after entrepreneurs and families from across the German-speaking world and beyond; Sebastian is responsible for cross-border tax strategy: tailor-made, 100% compliant and backed by local experts on the ground. The core subjects include exit taxation and the taxation of hidden reserves on departure, CFC rules, the non-dom regimes of Ireland, Malta and Cyprus, international holding structures and crypto tax planning.

Seminars, retreats and client trips

Sebastian regularly hosts seminars, strategy retreats and client trips, from the Ireland seminar to the ranch in Texas. These formats bring expertise together with reality on the ground: real decisions, made in conversation with like-minded people.

Media and podcast

The Perspektive Ausland podcast and its YouTube channel are regarded as a reliable voice for German-speaking entrepreneurs and families in an increasingly regulated world.

How booking and the consultation work

1 · Booking. Every button leads into the booking system: you pick a slot straight from Sebastian’s calendar and pay the £750 fee conveniently by card.

2 · Confirmation. You receive an email with all the details of the appointment, such as the dial-in information. Appointments take place during normal office hours, European time.

3 · Channel. By phone, Zoom, WhatsApp, Google Meet, Signal or Telegram, whichever suits you. A slot is usually available within 7 to 10 days.

4 · Your situation. Once the appointment is set, a short summary of your situation by email, as a reply to the booking confirmation, helps. The conversation is there to establish where you stand; the detailed analysis and planning are commissioned separately afterwards, and for that Sebastian will also go through extensive documents.

Satisfaction guarantee

Booking carries no risk for you: you can end the conversation within the first 15 minutes and get the full fee back. After 15 minutes it becomes due as agreed.
