FAQ
Why a specialized Customs and Excise Duty (IIEE) service?
The challenges of global operations affecting different jurisdictions are never limited exclusively to VAT and often have implications for customs. Additionally, for companies operating in the alcohol, tobacco, and hydrocarbon sectors, this can have significant repercussions regarding Excise Duty taxation. Our comprehensive service offers a “one-stop shop” that, with the support of new technologies, allows this global need for expert advice to be centrally covered.
I already have a tax department. Why do I need an external advisory service?
The need to serve a multitude of jurisdictions, with different languages and administrative practices, and subject to continuous regulatory changes, even if only to obtain a second opinion or personal attention to requirements, makes it essential to have the external support of professionals specialized in each of them.
What advantages does our comprehensive service offer?
The main advantage is our “one-stop shop” philosophy, which allows us to centralize advisory needs across multiple jurisdictions through a single online service platform (PlatformVAT) coordinated by a local representative.
Is the service expensive?
The cost will depend on the scope of the work, which is fully adaptable to the client’s needs. The main advantage is being able to know the applicable rates in advance and having a quote and fee estimate for formal acceptance beforehand.
