Yes. In tax advisory and consulting, indirect tax is the practice area that focuses on taxes on consumption and transactions, especially:

  • VAT (Value Added Tax)
  • Sales and use tax
  • Cross-border compliance
  • Customs and import/export-related tax issues
  • GST and similar consumption taxes in various countries

Typical indirect tax work includes:

  • Determining whether a transaction is taxable
  • Calculating the correct tax rate
  • Advising on registration and filing obligations
  • Managing multi-jurisdiction compliance
  • Handling cross-border supply chain and e-commerce tax issues
  • Reviewing invoicing, documentation, and exemption rules
  • Assisting with audits, disputes, and recovery of overpaid taxes
