VAT control: securing the company's tax flows and strategy

In VAT, the difficulty rarely lies in the only rate applicable. It is mainly due to the qualification of transactions, the right to deduct, territoriality, exemptions and the treatment of flows between several companies or States.

In the context of an accounting audit, these subjects may represent significant financial issues, particularly where VAT directly affects the cash flow or the cost of a transaction.

A VAT strategy must be considered at the level of flows

VAT supports the company's real economy. It should therefore be analysed according to the billing circuits, the nature of the services, the location of the operations and the structure used.

A tax-relevant organisation can preserve the right to deduct, avoid an unrecoverable VAT burden or improve the tax treatment of some complex transactions.
