VAT plus: focus on international
indirect taxation
indirect taxation
VAT plus is a small legal consultancy firm. However, the small size of the company does not limit its capabilities to handle engagements that need numerous specialists. By teaming similar consultancy practices in different countries VAT plus has been and is able to offer an alternative for the established standard international consultancy practices. Nevertheless, VAT plus does not pretend to place itself on the same footing as the big international consultancy practices.
Teaming cooperation partners has proven to be a successful formula that offers flexibility and quality of services at prices that companies consider to reflect their financial resources for external consultancy more realistically.
The cooperation partners are typically former partners, directors or senior managers of the big international consultancy firms, that either work as sole practitioner or established with colleagues a boutique consultancy firm in their respective discipline.
Size does matter. The specialistic focus of VAT plus means that we concentrate on our key skills. Where necessary VAT plus involves cooperation partners or third parties. Due to the fact that a high number of specialists nowadays work outside the traditional setting of the larger international consultancy firms, VAT plus is able to offer with its cooperation partners a realistic alternative for the traditional consultancy firms in the field or indirect taxation.
Both the traditional international consultancy firms and clients have become aware that boutique consultancy firms in the field of indirect taxation have evolved to service suppliers that can present competitive services offerings. Their size, key skills, long time experiences and lack of boundaries that apply to the international consultancy firms, make the boutique consultancy firms more flexible than the bigger firms.
VAT plus has an international focus, and concentrates on indirect taxation relating to cross-border transactions. Due to this focus we normally communicate in english. Other languages spoken are german and dutch.
