How can we support you?

Value Added Tax (VAT) is one of the most complex and closely monitored areas of indirect taxation, with direct impact on cash flow, pricing, and compliance risk. Below is how a leading consulting firm can support organizations in managing VAT efficiently, compliantly, and in a way that supports business growth.

Strategic VAT advisory and risk management

Radner provides strategic VAT advisory that helps organizations structure their operations in a tax‑efficient and compliant way across multiple jurisdictions. Support covers the analysis of supply chains, transaction flows, and contractual arrangements to identify VAT risks and optimization opportunities. Particular attention is paid to permanent establishment risks, place‑of‑supply rules, and cross‑border services and goods. The advisory work includes preparing decision‑ready options, with quantified financial and operational impacts for management. Assistance is also provided in designing internal VAT policies, governance frameworks, and controls tailored to the size and complexity of the business. This strategic approach helps reduce the likelihood of disputes with tax authorities and supports more predictable effective tax rates.

Operational VAT compliance and reporting

Support is provided across the full VAT compliance cycle, from registration through periodic reporting and ongoing maintenance. Assistance includes preparing or reviewing VAT returns, EC Sales and Purchase Lists, Intrastat declarations, and other country‑specific filings. Particular focus is placed on data quality, reconciliation of VAT ledgers with the general ledger, and the correct treatment of complex or exceptional transactions. Radner helps design standardized compliance calendars, process maps, and documentation standards to reduce the risk of late filings and penalties. Where appropriate, support is offered in selecting and implementing e‑filing tools and automation solutions to streamline recurring tasks. This operational support allows finance and tax teams to focus on higher‑value activities while maintaining a strong compliance posture.

VAT in systems, processes, and digital transformation

We help organizations embed correct VAT logic into ERP, billing, and procurement systems so that tax is handled accurately at the source. Engagements typically begin with a diagnostic review of existing VAT determination rules, tax codes, and master data to identify gaps and inconsistencies. Particular emphasis is placed on mapping business scenarios to system tax rules, including cross‑border flows, special schemes, and exemptions. Radner supports the design and testing of VAT configurations during ERP implementations, upgrades, and rollouts, ensuring alignment with local legal requirements. Assistance is also provided in implementing digital reporting and e‑invoicing requirements, including near real‑time reporting regimes. By strengthening VAT in systems and processes, organizations can reduce manual corrections, improve audit trails, and enhance data reliability for both compliance and analytics.

VAT audits, disputes, and interaction with tax authorities

Support is provided throughout the full lifecycle of VAT audits and disputes, from initial information requests to final resolution. Assistance includes preparing responses to tax authority queries, compiling documentation, and explaining complex business models in a clear and consistent way. Radner helps assess the strength of the technical position, quantify potential exposures, and develop negotiation strategies. Where appropriate, support is offered in pursuing advance rulings, mutual agreement procedures, and other cooperative mechanisms with tax administrations. The firm can also assist in designing remediation plans, including process changes and staff training, to address issues identified during audits. This comprehensive support helps organizations manage controversy efficiently, reduce financial and reputational risk, and build more constructive relationships with tax authorities.
