Tax consulting for import and export companies
Globalization in offices: Tax consulting for import and export companies
An owner of a company handling import or export of goods normally has extensive knowledge of the world of business. Occasionally, goods can be bought at a low price in one country and sold at a higher price in another country. Import and export companies see the opportunity to make a profit even after deducting transport and administration expenses while trading goods. Long-standing experience of import-export companies ensures that goods are transported and checked at a reasonable price and standards for contracts and payments simplify the administration. Their margins are often low, but high volumes generate profits. Yet, due to lack of knowledge, one can be caught unaware sometimes – if VAT or customs duties were not including in the price calculation and they suddenly and unexpectedly are due. This can quickly turn out to be an onerous situation and can soon lead to existential problems. It is therefore crucial to give attention to the fiscal and legal framework at the very start of doing business and to be aware of any the changes in advance.
