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.

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.
