Soka Bau - Negative certificate
What is the SOKA-BAU Negative Bescheinigung?
It is an official confirmation from SOKA-BAU proving that your company does not have to register or pay contributions to the German construction holiday fund. Clients on construction projects often ask for it when a company has no employees of its own and works only through sole traders or subcontractors.
The scope of our service covers:
- preparing the application for the Negative Bescheinigung
- communication with SOKA-BAU
- obtaining the confirmation
