> As somebody from Germany, establishing a company is a bit tedious and bureaucratic.
I'm fairly sure the German tax authority will claim that you have a local German branch office since you live and work there.
That might be OK tax wise?
But I'd recommend starting with the tax situation in Germany.
Having limited liability through some kind of corporation can be nice.
But on the other hand, it becomes harder in Germany to pay out a varying salary as profits fluctuates throughout the year since the German tax authorities will see that as an illegal dividend payment from your company.
From this perspective it can be easier to set up some kind of sole proprietorship. Easier accounting etc and can pay out profits easier. But you get the personal liability.
This is not hard advice, just some things to point out that it gets complicated fast. So I'd recommend spending a few hundred euros on getting advice from a tax professional to begin with.
