VAT & indirect tax

Governments worldwide have shifted taxation to VAT and other indirect taxes over recent years to stabilise their tax base.  

VAT is a complex area which applies to various transactions, and which can have a direct impact on the bottom line, leading to significant penalties if one gets it wrong.
