Indirect Tax Compliance
Indirect tax compliance is becoming a bigger focus for companies today for a number of reasons:
- Indirect tax compliance is hitting the Board agenda - due to cost of compliance, financial penalties and reputational risk. This can be caused by lack of visibility and control around indirect tax compliance - late filings, late payment of VAT, late registration, incorrect postings on returns, increased tax authority audit and scrutiny.
- Globalisation of trading footprint - whether through movement of goods caused by complex supply chains; increasing European or global customer base and trading presence; or traditionally domestic businesses trading online and creating compliance obligations in other countries.
- Business are changing how they traditionally operate in the finance and tax space - due to headcount pressures; budgetary restrictions on recruitment; downsizing; shared service centre centralisation of business processing (and reporting); cost reduction initiatives; shift in ownership of indirect tax compliance from finance to tax or vice versa.

We have expertise that can help you with:
Whether your organisation stays local or plays on an international stage, you are legally obliged to comply with VAT requirements - often in several countries at once. Managing the different facets of VAT in a cost-efficient manner is a key to your success.
How could VAT grouping benefit your business? A VAT group lets people and entities that are closely linked financially, economically and organisationally be regarded as a single VAT person. That means sharing your tax burden!
E-invoicing and e-archiving can speed up your operations, making them more accurate and cost-efficient. But they come with their own set of tax and legal requirements.
Want to improve your organisation's effectiveness and efficiency? A well-designed enterprise resource planning (ERP) system connects all the areas of your organisation - including those related to indirect tax. The challenge is to understand all the available options and make decisions that best support your business, invoicing and indirect tax reporting obligations.
