German commercial register fees — HRegGebV fee schedule

The register court charges fixed amounts from the HRegGebV fee schedule, not a percentage of the company's value. Registering a new GmbH costs EUR 225, or EUR 360 with a contribution in kind. Every registration fee carries an extra third for making the data available for retrieval.

Sources and assumptions

Calculation assumptions

  • Entries outside a conversion under the Transformation Act, with no move of registered office and no branch; cooperatives and capital measures (Part 2 Section 4 HRegGebV) are not modelled.
  • Each later fact has economic significance; lower fees apply to facts without it.
  • The register court's fees only: the notary's costs for certifying and filing the application come on top and are charged under the GNotKG.
