Our services enable you to be fully VAT compliant so you can focus on your business
What we do
Cutraco provides specialised VAT compliance services, helping companies to determine their international VAT requirements and obligations, which differ from country to country. We provide operational support in all VAT areas, so you can focus on the business.
Our VAT compliance services:
VAT registration
Understanding whether a VAT registration is required, and which alternatives can be considered is a prerequisite to ensure VAT compliance. If a VAT registration is required, Cutraco supports in preparing and submitting all required documents.
If a local Fiscal Representative is required to obtain your VAT registration, we can support in identifying an appropriate Fiscal Representative in the relevant countries.
With our help, your VAT registration will be a smooth and efficient process.
Fiscal representation
Certain countries require a fiscal representation. A fiscal representative is a tax registered company who will act in your behalf and takes care of your administrative obligations and manages VAT affairs by dealing with the local tax authorities. Fiscal representatives furthermore provide financial security.
We offer a complete package to our clients by requesting and arranging a fiscal representative in the relevant country and setting up a payment portal for local taxes.
