VAT and indirect taxation

VAT is a complicated business. It’s often difficult to understand why it applies in one situation and not another. What makes it more confusing is that the associated rules and procedures are frequently challenged and amended.

Due to the complexity of VAT it can be difficult for anyone other than a specialist to have clear grasp of the detail. 

Most businesses need an experienced guide – someone who can steer them away from the costly pitfalls and who will identify the opportunities and solutions that are often hidden within the VAT rules and regulations.
