VAT is a challenging and complex area which impacts upon almost all areas of trade. Most nations now operate a system of value added tax and whilst they are, in many cases, broadly similar, there are in reality many significant differences in the tax regimes. Businesses that fail to ensure they meet the particular requirements of the tax regime in which they operate can, in the worst case, suffer significant financial penalties. In addition to this they also run the risk of missing out on opportunities to realise benefits from the VAT regime. We are able to offer assistance in all areas of indirect tax including VAT, duty and excise. Through our global network we are well placed to advise on the VAT position in all areas of international trade. Our services can be broadly categorised into:
