Advice on value added tax

Value added tax is of particular importance, as it is one of the main sources of revenue for states worldwide. In Germany and the EU, the extent of legal regulations and their complexity continue to grow unabated, while auditing is becoming increasingly important.

For businesses, VAT and its payment not only represent an administrative and financial burden, but also pose many challenges.

Since value added tax, or turnover tax, as its name suggests, is not based on profit but on the turnover of the company, poor advice or structuring, especially in relation to the mass market, can lead to a noticeable additional burden.

Our advisory services in the area of value added tax include:

preparation of annual financial statements and preliminary VAT returns
preparation of VAT reports
input tax refund procedures
VAT check

For international VAT advice, we rely in particular on our in-house specialist teams of the International Groups as well as the experts of the HLB Group.
