Indirect taxes

We have also developed recognized expertise in VAT on physical flows (intra-Community deliveries and acquisitions, tax warehouses, distance selling, EMEBI (former DEB), consignment stocks) as part of the VAT/Customs management of sourcing and distribution flows.

We are also involved in indirect taxation, whether it concerns regulations, duties and taxes applicable to manufactured tobacco, alcohol, sugar and cereals, their circulation under suspension, or related statutes as authorized warehouses.

We have also developed specific expertise in precious metals guarantees and police books.

Finally, in addition to port duties and dock dues, we are also frequently called in to deal with earmarked taxes (such as the HBJOAT tax).

This expertise enables the firm to offer high value-added know-how to players in the luxury goods and wines & spirits sectors, particularly when it comes to modeling and deploying new flows.

As these regulations are often complex, sometimes old-fashioned, and carry a high theoretical penal risk, our experience in the management of controls, risk and litigation analysis is particularly valuable, as is our ability to apply for rescripts and negotiate settlements.
