The problems are often complex and the legal situation complicated. VAT risks of which a company is unaware can easily turn into a matter affecting its survival. For this reason, a company's success depends on having an integrated VAT strategy closely adapted to its needs. Further, companies making cross-border shipments may not ignore the customs and excise aspects of VAT because such are subject to far-reaching change due to the current wave of international regulations.
