The official nationwide register of German tax advisers, tax agents and tax advisory practice companies, kept by the Bundessteuerberaterkammer under section 86b of the Tax Advisory Act. It records who is entitled to give unrestricted assistance in tax matters in Germany.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.
Partly open The chamber states the register is accessible to anyone. The search was served anonymously with no credential, so login is recorded as not required. No query was executed, so result content and any limits were not observed and stay null.

Assessment
Strengths
Its statutory basis is stated on the register itself: section 86b of the Steuerberatungsgesetz, as an electronic overall register.
It covers appointed tax advisers and tax agents together with recognised practice companies, so firms are searchable as well as individuals.
The chamber states plainly that the register is accessible to anyone, and it can be narrowed to a place or postcode area.
Limitations
Appointment is required to give unrestricted assistance in tax matters, so this is a licence register — but the chamber states the register is not a way to search for an adviser with a particular specialism or qualification.
The federal chamber publishes the register, but the underlying professional registers are kept by the locally competent regional chambers, which the register states in reference to section 86b(1) sentence 3.
Absence from this register does not mean a person may not act in tax matters at all. Foreign providers acting temporarily and persons with partial authorisation are recorded in two separate registers kept by the same chamber.
No search was executed during verification, so result content and any limits were not observed and none is asserted.

Best for
Checking that a named person or company may give unrestricted assistance in tax matters in Germany.
Confirming that a tax advisory practice company is recognised or entered in the professional register.
Not recommended for
Finding an adviser for a particular specialism. The chamber states the register does not serve that purpose.
Concluding from absence that a person may not act at all in tax matters. Two separate registers cover foreign and partially authorised providers.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
