I did that a long time ago. But some friends from Germany are stuck with their company.

In Germany, you have to pay horrendous taxes if you want to leave the country and own a large company.

It's called the exit tax (Wegzugsbesteuerung) and was introduced by the green communists and is based on a law from the Nazi era. The tax on the flight of the rich. It is pretended that you sell your company virtually and then have to pay tax on it. So you need money that doesn't even exist to leave Germany.

This law is currently being contested because it violates EU law, but let's see.
