Indirect tax compliance services
Governments have increased VAT rates over the last few years to balance budgets against decreasing income tax rates. This evolution has also led to additional compliance obligations, stricter enforcement of penalties or earlier requests for payments.
VAT authorities also modernised how they carry out audits and enhanced cross-border cooperation. The compliance function becomes critical. Wrong reporting can immediately trigger negative consequences in terms of cash flow, penalties (for both companies and individuals) or reputation.
We’ve developed technology enabled solutions to strengthen your compliance capabilities combining industry specifics, operational efficiency, risk detection and optimisation opportunities.
