VAT Solutions and VAT Refunds

The general aim of our VAT consulting and refund services is to evaluate VAT as a real cost item. Our experienced staff of professionals, some of whom have worked on tax inspections as members of the staff of public bodies, and who have provided audit and consulting services in the private sector for many years, contribute significantly to the tax management of companies.

Our VAT reviews significantly decrease incorrect practices that might be detected during a possible tax inspection performed by the Ministry of Finance.

Moreover, the VAT team in our tax and legal services line of business is ready to provide companies with services that will meet their requirements related to VAT. The VAT group consists of experienced sworn financial advisor managers and experts who closely follow the procedures of the tax authority and the approach it implements during the process . This group only deals with VAT refund transactions.
