VIES – a small checkbox with major tax consequences
During this session, I will discuss the importance of correct VIES configuration in sales processes and its impact on tax settlements. I’ll explain how a seemingly minor checkbox can lead to significant financial and formal consequences.
Using practical examples, I’ll show how EU VAT verification works in Base and where the most common mistakes occur. The goal of this presentation is to raise awareness of potential risks and demonstrate how to effectively avoid them.
