Why indirect tax matters to your business

Indirect taxes ― such as value added taxes, sales taxes, customs duties and excises ― can represent up to a third of a company’s annual turnover.

The amount paid to cover these taxes is rarely highlighted in annual reports. Yet indirect tax raises significant risks for all businesses. Poor indirect tax management can squeeze cash flow, allow the over or underpayment of tax and attract significant penalties for non-compliance.

As companies expand into new markets they invariably encounter cross-jurisdictional issues involving indirect taxes, increasing and complicating their tax risks.
