Solution:  Move fulfilment operations offshore to take advantage of low value VAT exemption of UKP18 or Euro 22.

Business issue:  Finance/loan/credit card operator cannot recover VAT on increasingly demanding advertising budget.
Solution:  Using e-commerce structuring outsource operations so that the business unit receiving the advertising services is located outside the EU.

Business issue:  Cash flow problems as VAT on sales is payable quicker than VAT recovery on  inputs.
Solution:  Set up a separate company with monthly VAT accounting periods so that input tax can be recovered more speedily than tax on sales is payable.  Sales thresholds apply.

Solution:  “Bundle” or “unbundle” the product or service or re-categorize the service enabling VAT mitigation.

Solution: Re-structure the functions and transactions using offshore call centres, back office, finance and administration, IT support so that the “footprint” for tax purposes is less heavy in home jurisdiction.
