Consultancy in the field of VAT

VAT influences your organization

The professional services that are offered by us in the field of VAT reflect the impact that value added tax has on the various stages of the business processes within a company. Economical activities give rise to the need for a review of their VAT treatment. When done timely, such a determination will allow to adopt the business procedures to the legal consequences in the sense of acting instead of reacting. When thinking about VAT, diversity does not only mean that tax situations can be categorized in different groups, but also that specific transactions can be treated differently, namely depending the way they have been structured or executed. Sales structure and contractual arrangements are important, however not exclusive, for the determination of the applicable VAT treatment. Substantial attention should also be paid to the actual implementation of transactions, in terms of logistical and financial settlement.

VAT in sight

The issues that belong to our regular consultancy business are, amongst other:

  • determination of tax liability for purposes of Swiss VAT or VAT in one or more EU member states,
  • determination of the VAT treatment of specific transactions, whether for purposes of Swiss VAT and/or for purposes of VAT in other countries,
  • evaluation of current tax position and identification of possibilities of optimalization,
  • submission of requests for licences or special regulations,
  • VAT review, either in general or limited to specific categories of business transactions or specific business areas, read more
  • evaluation of the business processes from the perspective of VAT, and the identification of possibilities of improvement,
  • the arranging of VAT registration, either in Switzerland or in other countries,
  • the arranging of VAT refund, either of Swiss VAT or foreign VAT,
  • the writing of VAT manuals, either general manuals or manuals that cover specific transactions,
  • litigation in procedures regarding VAT.
 
 
   
           

Ahead of VAT

Keeping in control of VAT will prevent that VAT will usurp your business. Experience shows that the costs of preventive VAT handling are considerably lower than the costs that rise in case VAT issues are dealt with by way of troubleshooting, namely when they can no longer be denied. In the field of VAT the success formula for a company is not having one person who knows VAT inside out, but instead that persons on crucial positions in the company have a basic understanding of VAT and know what to do with that knowledge.

VAT plus GmbH can offer support to companies who want to verify whether they are (stil) fit for VAT or would like to improve in this respect.
