VAT advisory services

In the life of a tax subject it is usually VAT that causes the most headache; furthermore, decisions concluding tax audits most frequently also end with findings of significant tax difference in connection with VAT.

This is another reason why it is important that someone with the expertise to help you with minimising risks should stand by you in VAT-related issues.
