Lawyers and VAT: tax experts who listen to your needs

Within the complex and constantly evolving legal landscape, taxation represents a major challenge for businesses, and Value Added Tax (VAT) occupies a predominant place. In this demanding context, our law firm specializing in VAT stands out for its in-depth expertise and its in-depth understanding of tax mechanisms.

Here are the main areas where you will benefit from our experience.

Audit mission: clarifying and optimizing VAT management

Clarifying and optimizing VAT management within companies is our core business.

Using our services means:

Ensuring high level tax compliance and avoiding VAT disputes

Conduct in-depth audits of corporate tax processes, evaluating their compliance with VAT regulations. Maximize exchanges with your customers, your service providers, your commercial partners and of course also the French tax administration. Likewise, our lawyers will benefit from their expertise to analyze the management of VAT during local and intra-community exchanges but also for countries outside the European Union.

Above all, this analysis makes it possible to identify potential risks and disputes, and to avoid disputes with tax authorities.

Optimizing daily VAT management

Tax procedures often require substantial resources in human and material terms. Our firm is committed to finding cutting-edge technological solutions that are easy to access, legally flawless and, above all, personalized. While carefully tracking from the invoice issued or received to the delivery of goods and services and, of course, the collection and deduction of value added tax.

A clear vision of tax data

In addition to automating VAT tasks, our technological solutions include a complete mapping for a better understanding of the workings of each operation, the identification of possible concerns, process improvement, etc.

Have a real strategic vision of VAT

Technological tools, audits, analyses and support are a real advantage for companies or organizations using our tax lawyers.

They will show you that optimized management and understanding the ins and outs of Value Added Tax provide real strategic advantages beyond complying with the rules of law.

VAT and tax structuring

Our lawyers identify VAT opportunities by developing strategies to limit risks and costs, while remaining in compliance with the law. Analyzing commercial structures, inter-company transactions, but also regulatory developments clarifies the possibilities of optimizing fiscal interactions, of anticipating legislative changes and of minimizing their impact on your turnover.

VAT and the conquest of new markets

Your company has new ambitions, wants to develop internationally, whether at European or global level. Having a clear vision of the impacts of this strategic change on VAT management but also of possible opportunities is an area that is often, and wrongly, neglected. Outside of trade, the flow of taxes, customs duties and compliance with various laws and regulations are of course obvious allies for your success.

European VAT and CESOP compliance

The opportunities provided by the European market are now subject to new VAT arrangements. Our lawyers will help you comply with tax regulations when making cross-border payments, especially for PSPs, payment service providers (see our dedicated page).

Mergers and acquisitions and VAT

The merger of two companies and the acquisition (or M&A for Mergers and Acquisition) are part of these highly strategic steps that mark the life of a company. The fiscal ins and outs must be carefully analyzed in order, again, not only to be in compliance but also to choose the most advantageous transaction structures (acquisition of assets, securities, recovery of VAT on associated costs, etc.) Our tax experts are used to conducting thorough investigations — or due diligence — also aimed at minimizing possible tax and litigation risks.

VAT in transactions involving the purchase or sale of real estate

Expanding your premises, acquiring new sales or production spaces, selling part of your real estate assets, again, having a clear vision of the operation in terms of VAT is essential. Hiring a lawyer to deal with transfer tax issues is essential to ensure a safe real estate transaction. With their legal expertise, our lawyers know how to navigate legal complexities, protect the interests of the buyer or seller, and ensure that all tax law requirements specific to VAT are met. Thus minimizing legal risks, ensuring a smooth and legally compliant transaction. (see our dedicated page).

VAT and insurance: the exemption in questions

During its existence, a company must often take out multiple insurances. Our experts have in-depth expertise in complex and constantly evolving tax regulations relating to VAT in the insurance sector. Their in-depth knowledge allows them to identify exemptions, special regimes and VAT recovery opportunities specific to this field. While, of course, ensuring compliance with legal requirements.

A thorough analysis of all contracts often reveals gaps or accumulations of protections in the same area. Choosing the right insurance at the right time, with the right benefits, reduces costs and fiscal risks. (see our dedicated page)

VAT and tax control: rely on our expertise

Value Added Tax is one of the main sources of revenue for the French State. It is therefore normal for tax audits carried out by the tax authorities to be more and more numerous. Whether you want to check the compliance of your VAT management to avoid litigation or if you are the subject of an ongoing tax audit, calling on recognized specialists can only be beneficial for you.

Our lawyers will analyze the situation precisely, offer you defense or appeal options, represent you before the Tax Administration, especially during negotiations, assert your company's rights, etc. (see our dedicated page).
