Indirect taxes, particularly Value-Added Tax (VAT), are a pervasive and complex feature of the commercial landscape, impacting nearly every transaction a business undertakes. Unlike direct taxes on profit, these are taxes on consumption, creating a continuous and demanding compliance burden. Errors in calculating, charging, or reporting VAT in Georgia can lead to significant penalties and cash flow disruptions. Our firm provides expert and strategic indirect tax services designed to ensure your absolute compliance while optimizing your cash flow and mitigating risk at every stage of your supply chain.
Our comprehensive support integrates three critical areas into a seamless service. First, we ensure full compliance and reporting advisory, providing clear guidance on VAT registration obligations and managing the entire process on your behalf. We advise on the correct application of VAT rates and the nuanced rules separating taxable versus exempt transactions, preventing costly errors. Second, we deliver strategic indirect tax planning beyond mere compliance. For international businesses, this means navigating the complex rules on place of supply and the VAT implications of import/export, structuring transactions to be as tax-efficient as possible, and correctly applying mechanisms like the VAT reverse charge to manage cash flow.
Finally, because the complexities of VAT often lead to overpayments, we provide robust tax recovery and dispute resolution. We manage the entire VAT refund process, from preparing the claim to liaising with the Revenue Service to ensure a swift and successful outcome. Should a dispute arise over a VAT assessment, we act as your staunch advocates during tax audits and, if necessary, challenge decisions through formal resolution channels. Mastering indirect tax is not just about avoiding penalties; it is about managing a core component of your business's financial health with confidence and a strategic edge.
