Indirect Tax

Indirect tax is an increasingly important area of tax law. Although VAT & customs law is harmonised on a European level, differences remain between EU member states with respect to the implementation and application of these European rules. The combination of innovation and digitalisation also causes new challenges, and it becomes more important for tax payers to be able to demonstrate that they are in control of their tax position and compliant with tax legislation.

Whatever your business activity or location, you can count on our experts to assist you in effectively managing your indirect tax position and remaining competitive while avoiding risks. Our expertise ranges from corporate VAT and investment funds to real estate and international trade.
