Indirect Tax

VAT, customs and excise duties are an integral part of daily business. Companies must comply with a mass of legal regulations on everything from designing product and service chains, through VAT aspects of transactions, to compliance matters. Breaches of VAT regulations can – in addition to the considerable economic consequences – result in substantial fines and even prosecution. The lawyers and tax advisors in our Indirect Tax practice group advise clients on all aspects of VAT law, sales taxes, and customs and excise duties. With our practical, interdisciplinary and made-to-measure approach, we resolve complex issues that require a holistic view of the relevant legislation. Together with our colleagues from FGS Digital GmbH, we can also integrate our solution directly into your IT systems.
