VAT consulting
Companies deal with VAT on a daily basis in their day-to-day business. VAT law has complex ramifications between VAT and input tax deduction. A very lively body of case law in Germany and - in the case of cross-border activities - at EU level must be taken into account.
In addition, extraordinary transactions such as corporate or real estate transactions present special challenges because they do not occur on a daily basis but involve large volumes.
