How Gijsbert is building a better working world
“Indirect taxes offer us many chances to do the right thing, provide quality and instruct clients on their obligations and rights. This helps companies to deliver their goods and services in an efficient manner while fulfilling their VAT, GST, excises, customs and other indirect tax obligations. Many times, EY consultants are the connection between industry and government officials – and manage to get it right for everybody.”
