Indirect Taxes – What does it mean in practice?
Indirect taxes - we have experts within your local market- and global
Indirect taxes, such as VAT, customs duties, and excise duties, affect a company’s business on multiple levels—from pricing and cash flow to compliance and risk management. As regulations continue to evolve, digitalization increases, and business models become more global, complexity also grows.
Managing indirect taxes correctly is therefore crucial—not only to avoid costly mistakes, but also to create efficient processes and business opportunities. Whether it involves domestic VAT, international transactions, or specific excise duties, both expertise and a strategic approach are required.

We help you navigate regulations correctly, identify risks early, and capitalize on opportunities in both current and future regulatory frameworks.
What are indirect taxes—and how do they affect your business?
Indirect taxes, such as VAT and excise duties, are often embedded in a company’s day-to-day transactions—and for that very reason, they are easy to underestimate. How should they be handled correctly? Which rules apply? And which pitfalls should you avoid?
The rules are complex, change frequently, and vary depending on industry, market, and business model. The most common mistakes include incorrect VAT reporting, missed input VAT deductions, or inadequate procedures for handling cross-border trade—and these can be costly, both financially and in terms of lost time.

We work closely with you, take the time to understand your business, and ensure that you gain both oversight and control.
