All entrepreneurs have VAT legislation to contend with. You either pay VAT and/or transfer VAT. VAT can sometimes put considerable constraints on liquidities. Our knowledge will help you understand the fiscal and financial risks that this can entail.
VAT gives rise to questions such as:
- Does a VAT rebate entitlement exist and if so, what proportion of the VAT charges can be requested back?
- Where and by whom should the VAT be declared and paid?
- Do you have to be registered for VAT in another EU country if you do business in other EU-countries?
If, at a later stage, it emerges that too little VAT has been paid or that too much VAT has been claimed back, this will result in additional tax assessments and fines that may reach a high level. On the other hand, the liquidity position can be improved considerably by making optimal use of the opportunities that VAT legislation offers, potentially making the VAT position a particular focus area for your company. In many (and sometimes barely identifiable) cases, VAT is one of the factors that increases the cost price, especially for entrepreneurs and institutions that have a VAT exemption.
