FMCG
A fast-moving goods business generates thousands of tax events a month. At that volume, a small systematic error is not small — it repeats on every invoice until someone notices, and the someone is usually an auditor.
Our work here is about process more than advice: making the monthly cycle reliable enough that volume stops being a liability.
The work
What actually lands on our desk
01
High-volume return preparation
Monthly sales tax cycles built to run on schedule, with reconciliation between the sales ledger and what was actually filed.
02
Distributor and trade-scheme treatment
Discounts, credit notes and promotional schemes treated consistently — the area most often queried on review.
03
Withholding on a wide vendor base
Deduction, deposit and certificate issuance handled across a long tail of suppliers.
04
Channel-level reporting
Numbers cut by channel and region so commercial decisions rest on the same data the filings do.
What goes wrong
The three we see most.
None of these are exotic. They are the ordinary gaps that sit quietly for years and then surface all at once, usually in a notice.
Credit notes issued outside the period they relate to
Trade discounts treated inconsistently between months
Vendor certificates missing when the assessment arrives
If you recognized one of these while reading, that is the conversation to start with. Say so directly.
