Adapting to a constantly evolving environment

In Luxembourg, like in many countries, VAT and indirect taxes in general are a major and growing source of governmental revenue. These taxes, which can include VAT, customs, and excise duties, affect businesses greatly. Legislation and case law, for example, have become more complex, making it harder for businesses to comply with their indirect tax obligations, both in Luxembourg and abroad. Furthermore, an increasing number of companies face the challenges of an environment disrupted by the digital revolution. Ultimately, poor indirect tax management can affect cash flow, allow the over- or under-payment of tax, and trigger penalties for non-compliance.

Business processes are also becoming more automated, with technology playing a much greater role in the management of VAT. Getting these processes right is an important step, but finding the technologies to best fit your business requirements can be a challenge.
