• VAT Recovery and Recapture

GLOBAL VAT  Recovery and Reclamation

TRADING INTERNATIONALLY? –  you are definitely incurring unnecessary VAT costs

               “more than 65% of businesses trading in Europe don’t claim all they are entitled to……”

                                                                          – per report by OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development)

We will find it for you and recover it  – GUARANTEED

Global trading is now commonplace. Whether divisions, branches, subsidiaries or customers, it has never been so easy to do business in other countries. Incurring VAT costs across the world is also commonplace. VAT is levied by 166 countries in the free world. VAT rates can be as high as 27%, and, treated incorrectly, result in a direct reduction in profits. The OECD (Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation) conducted a global survey and identified that the majority of businesses don’t recover all international VAT that they are entitled to. To read the survey visit OECD website at: https://www.oecd.org/tax/consumption/44560750.pdf

Our experience shows year after year that 87% of companies don’t recover all the VAT/GST that they are entitled to.

Common Industry VAT Challenges

Companies conducting high volumes of transactions involving multiple vendors can easily overlook substantial disbursements which over time can have an impact on the bottom line. The risk of overlooking VAT charges increases dramatically when trading internationally. The following list highlights just a few of the reasons:

  •  Lack of knowledge of jurisdiction legislation
  •  Different VAT disclosure rules
  •  Unclear vendor contract terms
  •  Unfamiliarity with VAT processes
  •  VAT buried in transaction costs

Without regular monitoring and increased awareness of where and how over payment can occur, the combination of these elements creates room for further inaccurate tax capturing leading to frequent errors and lost profits.
