Value added tax and excise duties
Value-added tax is a tax on final consumption and should not be a cost for industry and commerce. Nevertheless, the tax is often of decisive importance for whether a transaction can or should be carried out. Excise duties may miss their mark or have unintended effects. The tax burden may constitute significant amounts. The field requires specialist skills, and the regulatory requirements tend to be formalistic and strict. Even minor formal errors may have significant adverse effects.
Our team of well-qualified and experienced lawyers ensures proper and good advice tailored to a commercial context.
