VAT

VAT is an unavoidable part of doing business: you have to remit it and reclaim it. But do you have a clear view of the potential tax risks and how recent developments might impact your company? And are you aware of the key areas to focus on within your VAT administration? We'll help you apply and make the best use of your options to reduce VAT risks and improve your VAT position.

VAT

Once you’ve submitted your tax return, you’ll want clarity about your as soon as possible. You want to be confident that your business complies with all tax regulations and avoid finding out later that you owe more than expected.

The same goes for stamp duty: you want to know exactly where you stand. In a nutshell, having a clear picture of your tax position is crucial.

VAT challenges

Your business is subject to VAT legislation, both national and international. These rules are highly complex and change frequently, possibly giving rise to local and/or international challenges and questions, such as:

  • What’s the most tax-efficient way to transfer a plot of land with regard to VAT and stamp duty?
  • Is a received subsidy&nbsb;subject to VAT?
  • What are the VAT rules when it comes to selling a commercial property?
  • What VAT rules apply to e-commerce or sales via Amazon and bol.com?
  • What opportunities are available under customs legislation?
  • Does your foundation or association qualify as a business for VAT purposes?

What's more, we can help you apply the correct VAT rates, figure out how to handle VAT when customers don’t pay, or how to manage supplementary VAT returns.
