group of people in a meeting daytime

In this next episode of Crowe Casts our Partner, Robert Marchant, along with VAT Manager Victoria Andrews and customs specialist Maeve Connolly.

They consider the quirky side of tax and demonstrate how getting VAT right can save money and getting it wrong leads to unexpected costs. Using real examples and case law, they will take you through the 'fiscal theme park' of VAT, as they discuss, strawberry sandwiches, Percy Pigs, Build a Bear, and most importantly – if the size of your marshmallows really do matter.
