WHY NOT HARNESS VAT MANAGEMENT AS A KEY ASSET TO STRENGTHEN YOUR COMPANY’S FINANCIAL HEALTH AND CASH FLOW, THEREBY ENSURING YOU REMAIN FULLY COMPLIANT?
Specialists in indirect taxation, we offer tailored solutions to maximise supply chain optimisation and strengthen your working capital.
Effective VAT (value added tax) management is not merely an accounting obligation: it represents a powerful strategic lever for your company’s financial health.
Well-mastered VAT not only enables you to optimise your cash flow by avoiding outflows for VAT paid in error and irrecoverable, but also ensures scrupulous compliance with current tax obligations, thereby preventing any risk of tax reassessment with potentially severe consequences for your business.
Indeed, approximate VAT management can quickly lead to negative consequences. Invoicing without VAT in error, lack of transport evidence for VAT-exempt intra-Community deliveries, or absence of proof of export… All these factors can result in financial penalties, tax audits and, in extreme cases, sanctions that could jeopardise the stability of your operations.
This is why it is essential to implement rigorous and proactive VAT management. By adopting best practices and surrounding yourself with experts, you can not only avoid these risks but also leverage optimisation mechanisms that will enhance your overall financial management. For example: altering the physical flow of goods to invoice customers without VAT and remain more competitive.
Don’t let VAT become a burden: turn it into a strategic asset for your company’s growth and longevity!
Analysing your VAT flows is a strategy aimed at reducing the tax impact of this levy on a company’s activities. This must be done in compliance with current tax and legal rules. Here are some situations where VAT optimisation may be relevant:
If you are a rapidly developing company, VAT management becomes crucial. Optimisation enables you to recover the maximum VAT on your purchases, thereby reducing your tax burden.
If you carry out import/export operations in the European Union involving a complex supply chain, our tax and customs expertise will be useful to you.
If you conduct intra-Community sales or purchase transactions, specific VAT rules may apply. These rules can vary depending on each member state. Our teams can support you to prevent errors.
Mastered VAT management avoids unnecessary payments and speeds up refunds, thereby freeing up liquidity.
Our experts ensure rigorous compliance by checking your declarations and invoices, thereby minimising the risks of reassessment and sanctions.
Thanks to regulatory monitoring and in-depth analysis of your flows, we anticipate tax risks and avoid unexpected costs.
Poor VAT management can lead to costly errors, cash flow problems and tax risks. Here are five major challenges facing companies that require tailored expertise.
Declarative errors or non-compliant invoicing can trigger a tax audit and sanctions, for example: having to pay VAT without being able to invoice it retrospectively to the client, plus the related penalties and late-payment interest. Since each country has its own obligations, the risk of non-compliance is high.
Advance VAT payment can weigh on cash flow, especially if reimbursement is delayed or refused. Poor management of exemptions or reverse charge increases costs.
Incorrect application of VAT rules to cross-border transactions can lead to double taxation or reassessment. Errors on invoices or triangular transactions further complicate management.
Manual VAT management increases the risk of errors and non-compliance. Automation secures declarations and optimises cash flow, but upstream support is essential, as once processes are automated it is sometimes too late to correct errors.
This is why our indirect tax experts can support you with tailored studies to secure your VAT management, optimise your cash flow and guarantee your compliance.
