VAT is a daily challenge for businesses

Companies face a multitude of complex tax legislation matters, on a daily basis, as a result of their internationalized activities. The VAT rules, that consist of different layers (e.g. European Directives and Regulations, local VAT law, national and European case-law, administrative guidelines and notices, parliamentary questions, local practice,), do not deviate from the pattern .

An efficient VAT management leads to substantial financial benefits. On the contrary, a misunderstanding of the rules can turn out to be financially detrimental. The pitfalls in this area are pretty abundant and fines (e.g. double taxation, administrative penalties, late payment interest) prove to be high, even if the taxpayer acts bona fide.
