Reviews of our Clients

The tax security of a medical business often depends on terminological precision. A common belief among medical facility owners — "we are a medical clinic, therefore all our services are VAT-exempt" — in practice leads to additional tax assessments, penalties, and disputes with the tax authorities.

The problem lies not in the legislation, but in the details: the decisive factor is not the status of the facility, but the nature of the specific service and exactly how it is recorded in your PRRO (software registrar of settlement operations).
