Opportunity BasketVAT Cross-Border Service Classifier & Compliance Checklist Engine
A human-led tax classification service where businesses submit service descriptions, client location, and operation details through a structured intake form. A network of EU tax specialists (hired or partnered) classify the VAT treatment within 48 hours, deliver a written determination with cited regulations, and provide a compliance checklist specific to that service type and jurisdiction pair. No software—pure expert routing and standardized output.

EU businesses and service providers struggle to determine correct VAT treatment for cross-border services outside the EUService providers and businesses operating across EU and non-EU borders face confusion about VAT obligations when moving services or operations outside the EU, leading to potential compliance violations, unexpected tax bills, and operational delays. Current tax guidance is fragmented across jurisdictions and difficult to interpret, forcing businesses to spend significant time researching or hiring expensive tax consultants to avoid penalties.
