International VAT, Customs & Foreign Trade

International business operations are subject to strict VAT and customs requirements, which can vary significantly from country to country. Even within the EU, differing regulations complicate the proper handling of cross-border transactions. Moreover, since there are no double taxation treaties for VAT, this often results in multiple tax burdens and increased risk exposure.
Incorrect or incomplete VAT declarations and customs processing can lead to significant back payments, penalties, or delivery delays. It is therefore essential for companies to ensure that their international transactions are properly structured in terms of both tax and customs law.
