Tax Optimisation and Compliance
Structuring a EUR 180,000 Office Fit-Out to Accelerate Tax Deductions
An IT services company needed around EUR 180,000 of works on new leased premises. We compared three invoicing structures and recommended the one that spreads the deduction over five years instead of forty.
VAT Treatment of an Intra-Group Lease of Mixed-Use Property
A group company leased a site with a family house, garages and warehouses to a sister company. We documented the VAT position for each element before the first invoice was issued.
Reverse Charge on the Sale of Obsolete Rail Wagons as Metal Scrap
A buyer wanted to purchase obsolete rail wagons as metal scrap without VAT on the invoice. We confirmed when the reverse charge applies and issued a written opinion the client could show a tax inspector.
Recovering Recurring VAT Credits for a Cross-Border Trading Company
A trading company generated recurring VAT credits on high-volume cross-border transactions. We run one monthly process in which every VAT and statistical report reconciles to the same data.
Managing an Excise Duty Audit at a Craft Brewery
The customs office audited two production seasons at a small independent brewery. We took over communication, built the document checklist and the audit ran without missed deadlines or penalties.
Supporting a Tax Audit That Closed Without Findings
The tax authority selected a filed return of an owner-managed company for audit. We built the audit file directly from the ledger and the audit closed with no discrepancies.
Accounting and Bookkeeping for SMEs
Rebuilding Two Years of Accounts for a Foreign-Owned Distributor
A foreign-owned pharmaceutical distributor inherited accounts that did not reconcile. We rebuilt two years from the last clean closing, and the corrected returns reduced tax in both years.
Taking Over the Books of a Czech-Owned Slovak Subsidiary
A Czech parent moved its Slovak subsidiary's bookkeeping to us. Before accepting the ledger we found an unclosed year and balance differences, so the new year started on reconciled balances.
Reconstructing Missing Sales Documentation and Correcting Historical VAT Reporting
A review of historical bookkeeping revealed missing sales invoices for an earlier VAT period. We traced the documents, corrected VAT through a supplementary return and reconciled it to the ledger.
Building a Scalable Year-End Accounting and Corporate Tax Process for a Growing SME Group
A growing group of service companies handled year-end statements, returns and tax advances through ad hoc reminders. We introduced a repeatable process that scales as new entities are added.
Turning Outsourced Accounting into Management Reporting for an International Subsidiary
A foreign-owned subsidiary needed statutory accounts and monthly English reporting for group management. We built the reporting package on the ledger and validate unusual margin movements before release.
Detecting a Duplicate Supplier Invoice Through Inventory and Ledger Reconciliation
During a monthly review a supplier invoice did not match stock movements. Comparing documents with the warehouse revealed a duplicate and distinguished it from a valid price adjustment.
Converting a Sole Trader into a Limited Company by Transfer of Business
A consultant transferred her whole business, including property, from a sole proprietorship to a new s.r.o. We sequenced the registrations so the company took over VAT status without a gap.
Reducing an Employer Levy for a Restaurant Group Through Correct Headcount Analysis
A restaurant group with seasonal staff asked whether the disability employment quota applied. The statutory headcount showed one company was exempt, and the other met the duty with a sheltered-workshop order.
Complex Corporate Tax Planning
Untangling Withholding Tax on Cross-Border Licence Fees Within a Group
A Slovak subsidiary of a Czech media group had mismatches between licence invoices and withholding tax paid. We reconciled the position to the euro, recovered overpaid tax and set one invoicing rule.
Transfer Pricing Documentation and Working-Capital Analysis for a Leveraged Distributor
A pharmaceutical wholesaler needed transfer pricing documentation and an answer for its bank on why EBITDA was not turning into cash. We delivered the benchmark and an inventory analysis showing where cash was tied up.
Strengthening Transfer Pricing Documentation During an Authority Inquiry
A member of an international group received a tax authority request on related-party transactions. We assembled a coherent transfer pricing file and a scoped plan to fix earlier documentation gaps.
Coordinating Accounting and Tax Work for a Cross-Border Corporate Merger
A corporate group carried out a cross-border merger with Slovak accounting and tax requirements. We aligned interim financial information and the exit-tax analysis with the merger timetable.
Reconfiguring VAT Compliance for a Cross-Border Sales-Model Change
An international group moved domestic sales to another EU company. Before go-live we translated the new model into a VAT matrix for every transaction type and into invoicing-system instructions.
Establishing the Tax Basis of Assets Received Through a Non-Cash Contribution
A holding company planned to sell an asset it had received as a non-cash contribution. We established the tax basis before the sale and supported it with written guidance from the tax administration.
