Indirect taxes – ensuring that international business runs securely

VAT, EU VAT rules, customs duties, excise duties and other indirect taxes are often underestimated in cross-border business with Italy. Particularly in international goods and services structures, e-commerce models or complex supply chains, risks arise quickly – risks that can be avoided with the right structure and the timely implementation of the corresponding compliance requirements.

Structuring international supply chains with legal certainty

Triangular and chain transactions as well as intra-Community supply chains repeatedly confront companies with complex VAT questions. What applies where – and who is liable for what? We provide support with the tax assessment, correct invoicing and documentation as well as with VAT registrations and reporting obligations under Italian and European VAT law.

Ensuring legal compliance in international supply chains

Triangular and chain transactions, as well as intra-Community supply chains, repeatedly present companies with complex VAT issues. What applies where – and who is liable for what? We provide support with tax assessments, correct invoicing and documentation, as well as with VAT registrations and reporting obligations under Italian and European VAT law.

Foreign companies operating in Italy frequently require a local tax presence – for instance through direct VAT registration or fiscal representation. Ongoing VAT compliance is handled in close coordination with accounting and fiscal representation in order to avoid risks and penalties in the international trade in goods and services.
