Understanding VAT: Why It Matters and How to Comply
Briefly

Value Added Tax (VAT) is an indirect tax that applies to the consumption of goods and services worldwide. It functions through a multi-step system where VAT is added at each level of production—from manufacturer to retailer. Various VAT rates exist depending on country and product types, including standard, reduced, and zero rates. VAT promotes efficiency, reduces tax evasion, and ensures stable government revenue. Businesses operating in foreign VAT areas need fiscal representatives for compliance and support, with firms like Fiscalead offering specialized consulting to navigate complex regulations.
