The €200,000 Mistake That Changed Everything

The Grupa Warzywna case sent shockwaves through the EU business community when the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) upheld a €200,000 penalty for documentation errors. This landmark ruling proves that even businesses operating in good faith can face crippling financial consequences for seemingly minor compliance mistakes.

Are you making these same critical errors?

  • Incomplete VAT registration documentation
  • Missing cross-border transaction records
  • Incorrect reverse charge applications
  • Inadequate invoice formatting
  • Delayed VAT return submissions

Why Traditional VAT Services Leave You Vulnerable

Most VAT providers only react after penalties occur, leaving you exposed to the very risks you’re paying to avoid. While they process your returns, they don’t protect your business from the compliance traps that trigger investigations.
