Overview
An entrepreneur faced a VAT assessment of more than €600,000 from another EU country. By re-evaluating the transactions, documentation and applicable regulations, we were able to fully substantiate the client's position.
The challenge
The challenge
The client received an additional VAT assessment of over €600,000 from an EU country. Due to the international nature of the transactions and differences in interpretation, a substantively strong and complete file was necessary.

The result
The result
The tax assessment was reduced from over €600,000 to €0. The client thereby avoided a very large financial impact and now has a better-structured file for future cross-border activities.

“An additional assessment of this scale posed a direct threat to our business. Thanks to the file we built up and the substantiation of its contents, the additional assessment was completely dismissed.”
“De herstructurering heeft niet alleen onze marge verbeterd, maar gaf ons ook de zekerheid dat alles correct, controleerbaar en goed onderbouwd is ingericht.”
