Value-Added Tax Practice
Services Provided
Ryan clients benefit from our transfer of value-added tax (VAT) knowledge and expertise, gained through advising many of the world’s largest multinational companies on a range of indirect tax matters. Our services include:
VAT Recovery
Varying degrees of complexity and inconsistencies in international VAT rules present challenges for businesses managing their VAT recovery on a wide range of business purchases and employee expenses. As businesses grow, diversify, and move into new jurisdictions, accurate compliance is progressively more difficult. Small systemic errors multiplied exponentially over time can amount to material overpayments and operational challenges. Ryan assists clients in proactively managing these challenges while providing the necessary resources to prepare, submit, and manage the claims process through repayment from the tax authority.
Our VAT recovery services include accounts payable (AP), foreign VAT, and VAT return reviews to help clients identify their VAT liabilities and ensure that their systems and processes are efficient and their tax determinations and reporting are accurate. Utilizing our proprietary indirect tax review software, Ryan consultants can examine more than one million transactions at a time to identify refund savings opportunities. Additionally, we utilize specialized data extraction for AP transactions, invoice retrieval, and disclosures to ensure the process is non-intrusive, independent, and respectful of our clients’ resources.
Strategic VAT Advisory
Perhaps the greatest value we provide our clients is the transfer of VAT knowledge and expertise gained through advising many of the world’s largest multinational companies on a range of indirect tax matters. Ryan’s strategic VAT advisory services focus on our client’s overall tax performance, creating greater opportunities to measure and improve efficiency, develop a more strategic approach to tax, and deliver outstanding shareholder value.
