Contrary to our peers, we fully concentrate on the legal
aspects (VAT, customs law, excises, international trade law European
law) of international transactions by companies that are doing
business in other countries.
Our clients are typically companies that have an
international focus and mind-set. Our daily business is offering
legal support to larger companies and multinationals, as well as
small and medium enterprises.
With a network of international specialists we
are able to offer a pan-european and a global approach of issues in
the field of international VAT, customs law, excises and international
trade law.
Managing the process flows that from an indirect tax perspective are linked to the international transactions with goods or services demands a practical approach. Instead of designing indirect tax structures that dictate your business model, VAT plus takes the business processes of the company as starting point for practicalizing the handling of VAT / customs issues in connection with your applied supply chain model.
The day-to-day handling of indirect tax supply chain management builds on processes that are dealt with by persons within your company that are more close to the purchase and sales transactions, rather than by persons on C-level. Therefore, staff involved in the actual handling of purchase and sales transactions shall be equipped with tools that allow them to perform their tasks with the level of quality and efficiency needed for business excellence. VAT plus offers several tools that support both the staff and the management in your company to achieve this goal.
