A smoothly functioning and efficient supply chain or supply chain is the aspiration of many companies. When changes occur in your supply chain or when a chain crosses national borders, this can present a complex issue. RSM's consultants are happy to assist you with advice and solutions to optimise your supply and distribution chain. Naturally, we also question our colleagues from Tax and Audit where necessary. This way, you can meet your customers' demands, knowing that your supply chain is functioning optimally.

International trade, transfer pricing and VAT

If your supply chain crosses borders, you will have to deal with both the import and export of goods and services. Our consultants will be happy to advise you on good transfer pricing policies. We also work out the associated legally required transfer pricing documentation for you. We are also happy to review with you your internal customs processes and classification of goods. We also advise you on making smart choices when it comes to VAT in your supply chain. For example, we advise you in which countries you can best pay VAT. Even when your products are ready, the international export and distribution of your products involves a lot. Thanks to its own global network and experience in international trade, RSM is the expert who can guide you through export controls, for example.

A robust supply chain

Global political and economic changes have a direct impact on your supply chain. Think, for instance, of increased transport costs and shortages of raw materials and materials. This is happening so fast that it is difficult to keep up with it all, with all the (negative) consequences for the service to the end customer in the chain. So by having and keeping your supply chain compliant and efficient, you create value for your own customers. This value can be different for each customer, but these values are central for all our customers: sustainability, visibility, transparency and digitalisation. Our Supply Chain consultants are focused on continuing, optimising and growing your company and business. Naturally, we strive to be as efficient as possible in terms of cost, sustainability and time. A resilient supply chain is your key to success. And that is exactly what you can turn to us for. We ensure that your supply chain is resilient to the constant changes in cross-border trade.

A sustainable supply chain

Sustainability is becoming more important every day. This applies to laws and regulations, but also because consumers increasingly demand more insight and proof about the sustainability not only of a product, but of the entire supply chain. RSM's Supply Chain consultants will be happy to go in-depth with you to make the entire chain, but perhaps also specific parts of it, more sustainable.

Depending on your wishes and goals, we will provide advice that will enable you to make your supply chain compliant and demonstrably more sustainable.

These are our specialisations within Supply Chain Consulting:
 

Een vaak onderschat onderdeel in de keten, zoals u wellicht heeft ervaren met de Brexit. Onze experts zijn niet alleen juridisch onderlegd, maar hebben ook kennis van en ervaring in praktische toepassingen zoals:

  • Opzetten of verbeteren van interne douaneprocessen
    Classificeren van goederen
    Trainingen op maat. Gespitst op voorbeelden uit de dagelijkse praktijk
    Analyseren van data om warehouse en logistieke processen te reviewen en te optimaliseren

Geen supply chain zonder implicaties voor de btw. Onze btw-experts zijn ervaren fiscalisten die ook alles weten over onder andere het opzetten en implementeren van e-commerce processen. Ze adviseren over en assisteren bij onderwerpen zoals:

  • Btw-registraties en aangiften
    Algemeen fiscale vertegenwoordiging
    Opzetten van (I)OSS registraties voor e-commerce activiteiten
    DAC7 screening en reporting

Transfer Pricing komt in beeld bij transacties tussen gelieerde ondernemingen. Is de prijs namelijk wel correct bepaald? Het is een wettelijke verplichting om dit gedocumenteerd te hebben. Onze TP-experts zoeken dat voor u uit middels:

  • Een functionele analyse
    Document study
    Opmaken van een master file / local file

Wie zijn de partners in de keten? Waar gaan de goederen naartoe en naar wie? Supply chain due dilligence is ontzettend belangrijk, zeker als er van u gevraagd wordt om aan te tonen in welke landen en met welke partners u zaken doet, in het kader van internationale sacntie bijvoorbeeld. Denk hierbij zeker ook aan de eisen vanuit de Wwft. Onze experts adviseren bij:

  • Wet- en regelgeving omtrent exportcontroles en sancties
    Screening van partijen in de keten
    Opmaken en implementeren van Interne Compliance Programma’s
    Classificatie van goederen volgens de Dual-Use verordening, de lijst van militaire goederen en/of EAR/ITAR

Als u uw supply chain niet ingericht of voorbereidt op de ontwikkelingen rond ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance), dan is uw supply chain mogelijk niet toekomstbestendig. Ook bij RSM weten we dit en betrekken we onze Sustainability consulants bij ons advies over uw supply chain. Zij denken mee en werken met u aan uw supply chain van de toekomst. Ze adviseren o.a. over de toepassing van de Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) en over het verduurzamen van de supply chain.

Ook voor een efficiënte supply chain is het automatiseren van processen aan de hand van bestaande applicaties onvermijdelijk. Onze technology consultants adviseren bij o.a data-analyses en de implementatie van tax-gerelateerde applicaties.
