Indirect Tax Returns

If you conduct commercial activity in a given country, then you may have to apply an indirect tax – such as a value-added tax – to goods and services you supply there. And you may have to pay those taxes on goods and services you purchase in country too.

You’ll then have to declare this information to the relevant tax authority by filing tax returns, and either pay the indirect taxes you’ve withheld from customers or claim a refund of those taxes your business has incurred on purchases. Simple enough in principle, but a real headache in practice.

At Vistra, our teams of tax compliance specialists will give you the best advice on precisely what information your business has to report and how, and on how to accurately calculate your indirect tax liabilities/refunds, anywhere in the world.

We can help you complete all indirect tax returns and file them with the local tax authority. And we can complete any other filings relating to the local reporting of sales and purchases of goods and services, from EU Sales Listings to customs declarations.

Our indirect tax return service supports you wherever you’re carrying out your business. We’ll provide you with local knowledge and up-to-date information on your local indirect tax compliance obligations. And through our dedicated workflow and deadline management tool, the Global Compliance Application, you’ll get complete visibility of all your indirect tax filing obligations across the globe, as well as real-time status reports on how they’re progressing.

Vistra’s 2030 report is the fund and corporate service industry’s leading research series, one that examines changing client demands and how the industry itself is adapting. Our current edition incorporates survey responses from over 600 professionals, 20 in-depth interviews with industry leaders, and data and trends from nine previous reports.

Cross-border business and investment in a new era of globalisation

Following the most turbulent period in recent memory, Vistra surveyed over 600 professionals and conducted 20 in-depth interviews to better understand the challenges today’s global businesses and investors face. The result is the tenth Vistra 2030 report. Simon Filmer, who heads Vistra’s company formation sector, calls the latest report “our most comprehensive look yet at how and why businesses, investment firms, regulators and the industry itself are adjusting to a new kind of globalisation.”

DAC7: The businesses that must report and how to comply

DAC7 is an EU directive that requires digital platform operators to report certain information about the sellers that use their platforms. EU member states recently transposed the directive into law, and platform operators must file their first reports by 31 January 2024. While the first report must be filed in 2024, platform operators have been required to collect related data since 1 January 2023, placing both the platform operators and their reportable sellers at potential risk now.
