Duty and import VAT briefing

A sit-down (or video) briefing that walks a finance or board audience through a quarter of duty, postponed import VAT, and the few lines that distorted the totals.

Some quarters need a conversation more than a thick pack. A duty and import VAT briefing is that conversation: ninety minutes, a handful of charts, and enough silence for the audit chair to ask why one supplier moved the duty line.

We prepare from your extract, not from a generic deck. If postponed accounting is in use, we say so in the totals rather than hiding import VAT inside “customs”. If a single anti-dumping line or an unusual procedure code moved the figure, it is named.

Who it is for

Finance directors, audit chairs, and operations leads who need a quarter explained in language that is not a declaration screen.

What you receive

A ninety-minute briefing with a short slide of totals, three charts, and a list of lines worth a second look.

Scope

One quarter, one entity, figures drawn from files you supply in advance.

Who prepares it

The reviewer who will be in the room, named in the diary invite.

Time

Briefing held within two weeks of usable files.
