Value added tax is often underestimated as a supposed transitory item. In particular, there is a significant tax risk for cross-border transactions.
According to the press release of the Federal Finance Ministry on 07/20/2018, the value added tax special audits carried out in 2017 led to additional revenues of €1.53 billion for the German tax authorities.

Reason enough to design value added tax-related matters in advance in accordance with tax law:

• Analysis of the existing VAT system
  
  
• Design of cross-border supply relationships
  
  
• Intra-community chain transactions
  
  
• VAT registrations
  
  
• Expert opinions on VAT
  
  
• In-house training sessions
  
  
• Application and implementation of the national and international reverse charge procedure
