Value-added tax

Value-added tax is the tax type with the highest revenue in Germany and therefore naturally in a special focus of the tax authorities.

VAT is complex and constantly changing. It is important to keep an eye on the requirements and changes of the national legislator and the administration as it is to keep an eye on EU law (including the EU VAT directive) and the case law of the European court of justice , Federal fiscal Court of Germany (BFH) and the regional tax courts. This leads to considerable challenges in the day-to-day business. The economic impact and the entrepreneurial (and possibly also personnel) risks are sometimes quite significant.

As mentioned, VAT is quite important and requires a clear view of the national and international requirements. Therefore, it is good to have the team of INDICET Partners as a reliable partner.
