Failure to properly remit VAT or incorrect settlement thereof may expose the company to additional costs and the risk of penal fiscal liability of individuals responsible for tax settlements (e.g. the Board, CFOs or Chief Accountants). To mitigate such risks, we help our clients get through the formalities of VAT settlements. Our ongoing support covers keeping our clients updated on the latest amendments to tax regulations and on how these changes are to affect their settlements.
Passing your VAT settlements to KPMG professionals can translate into important time and cost savings for your company. Outsourcing VAT services may also prove beneficiary in the case of staff shortages (both periodical and those stemming from restructuring or technological transitions).
Our VAT-related services rely on extensive knowledge gathered over many years in business and well-established methodology developed while supporting clients across various industries.
We use state-of-the-art technologies and proprietary IT solutions to accelerate the process of data collecting, processing and verification.
