VAT ADVISORY SERVICES
Managing VAT compliance and other indirect taxes is a major concern for many companies operating cross-border. This is because nearly 150 countries across the globe have VAT, GST, or VAT-like regimes with local rules and regulations. Without a comprehensive plan and a deep understanding of the local requirements, non-compliance can be a substantial risk for the business.
Companies offer a wide range of services and products that meet clients’ needs all over the world. However, keeping track of local VAT obligations in each country where the business operates is challenging. Failure to understand how VAT works locally and a lack of attention to small details can lead to significant VAT exposures.
Tax authorities are getting more grip on company data on an international basis by sharing big data, making it very difficult for companies to escape being compliant.
GVC’s consultancy services are designed to assist your company in achieving and maintaining compliance within the jurisdiction of your choice, ensuring that your business remains informed of all the most recent advancements in VAT legislation.
VAT liabilities to consider
In recent years, tax authorities increased their focus on international businesses and are getting better at spotting VAT non-compliance by non-resident companies. Additionally, a lot of countries continue adopting new legislation to ensure the collection of VAT on e-commerce transactions. This creates a lot of uncertainty for companies and may result in the most frequent effects of being unaware of your VAT obligations such as:
- VAT assessments
- Interest and penalties
- In-depth audits
- Supply chain interruptions
How to manage VAT compliance?
It is a challenge to be VAT compliant in countries where a company does not have a presence, like e-commerce or digital service providers. The in-house tax team has to cover all these countries which require local expertise. Moreover, language barriers and unfamiliar legal systems can be another challenge. GVC can support you in those countries by bringing local expertise and VAT compliance solutions.
