Indirect Tax

Challenges never cease – managing indirect taxes in a continuously changing environment requires new thinking and innovative approaches.

Where financial demands continuously drive the need to increase public revenues, in particular, via Value Added Taxes (VAT) and Goods and Service Taxes (GST), businesses are required to meet compliance obligations, drive indirect performance, realize opportunities and manage the challenges resulting from more globalized business models and fast moving legislation around the globe.

As we see it, the best possible advice on Value Added Tax has been given if the resulting structure fits smoothly into the overall setting of a company - both nationally and internationally. Consulting services in the field of Value Added Tax have to add value and assurance to the business and along the supply chain. This is our objective and our strategy.
