Transforming VAT Complexity into Clarity
The VAT is a key component of the European taxation system, applied to most goods and services across the EU. While the principle of VAT is harmonized under EU law, each member state has its own specific rules, rates, and compliance requirements. Navigating these differences can be challenging for businesses operating across multiple European markets

- Intracommunity transactions and reverse charge mechanisms
Companies trading within the EU often struggle with:
- Multiple VAT registrations across different countries
