Our VAT Optimization Process

At Emifast, we believe VAT should not only be about compliance — it should also be a tool for efficiency and growth. Our process is designed to give you clarity, reduce risks, and turn VAT into a manageable and even strategic part of your business. By breaking it down into six clear steps, we ensure that every phase is transparent, actionable, and aligned with your international operations.

1

Initial Consultation

We begin with a full assessment of your current VAT exposure across all relevant jurisdictions. This diagnostic phase identifies risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for reclaim, ensuring you have a clear picture before moving forward.

2

Data Collection & Analysis

Our team gathers all required financial and transactional data, reviewing invoices, supply chains, and cross-border activities. This step allows us to pinpoint where you may be overpaying VAT or missing opportunities to reclaim.

3

Customized Strategy Development

Based on your business model, industry, and markets, we create a tailored VAT framework. This includes identifying the best jurisdictions for registration, reclaim strategies, and ways to streamline reporting.

4

Implementation & Compliance

We manage the practical execution of your VAT setup – including registrations, filings, reporting, and direct communication with tax authorities. Our process minimizes errors and ensures your business remains compliant at every stage.

5

Ongoing Monitoring & Audit Support

VAT rules evolve constantly. We monitor regulatory changes across jurisdictions, update your structure accordingly, and prepare your business for audits if necessary. Should an audit occur, we provide full representation and defense.

6

Continuous Optimization for Growth

Beyond compliance, we turn VAT into a strategic advantage. By continuously reviewing your structure, we help you reduce costs, reclaim eligible VAT, and align your tax framework with long-term growth goals.

Who Should Consider VAT Advisory?

VAT advisory is essential for companies trading across borders, operating digital platforms, or managing complex supply chains. It is particularly valuable for entrepreneurs in e-commerce, SaaS, consulting, logistics, and international trading, where compliance requirements are strict and constantly changing.

Businesses expanding into new markets also benefit, as VAT registration thresholds and reporting obligations differ across jurisdictions. Whether you are reclaiming VAT, restructuring operations, or preparing for audits, Emifast ensures you remain compliant without losing focus on growth.
