Advisory services for public sector entities

VAT settlements in local government units and entities established to perform public tasks require specialised knowledge and experience due to numerous atypical challenges, such as differing regulatory regimes, difficulties in defining taxable and non-taxable areas, allocating investment and operating expenses to the appropriate areas of activity, and the extensive use of grants which may affect the VAT treatment.


Additional challenges include strict approaches adopted by tax authorities and inconsistent administrative court rulings, which may result in significant VAT liabilities or increase costs due to non-deductible VAT, even in the case of taxable activities.
