2 Retail and Consumer Products sector in CEE Retail and consumer products (R&C) companies are currently facing a unique combination of market forces which are making the sector increasingly challenging. Profit margins and the existing growth opportunities for companies in the sector are limited by a deflationary operating environment, market saturation, changing demographics and reduced consumer confidence in a time of financial turmoil. Besides these forces, there is the even more direct and immediate impact of increasing competition, particularly from alternative sales channels, and a redefining of the traditional supplier and retailer roles, notably through the increasing supply chain power of retailers at the expense of consumer product manufacturers. Moreover, tax and legal aspects further burden the sector s development. The key to successful planning is to assess the critical issues and proactively seek solutions to alleviate the related risks. As today s leading economic growth region, CEE is a priority in the expansion plans of R&C companies. With the region s R&C sector growing at a rapid pace, PwC decided to conduct an informal survey in CEE countries so we can better anticipate your information needs. This brochure presents the results of this survey. We concluded that the issues shown on the following pages are the most critical from a tax perspective for R&C companies as they have a significant degree of risk and a high materiality. These issues have been identified in most of the CEE countries. Common technical issues for the CEE region retail and consumer products sector Bonuses, discounts received from suppliers and posttransaction rebates suppliers offer significant bonuses, discounts or post-transaction rebates to retailers to stimulate sales. However, these amounts may trigger profit tax and VAT costs for the suppliers if the invoicing method is incorrect. As such, it is important to analyse and classify the price reductions properly as either discounts or services. Returnable containers adjustment settlements for movement of such packages without billing between producers and retailers can trigger profit tax and VAT liabilities for producers. Inventory losses due to the nature of the business, retailers and producers incur significant inventory losses. Although this may translate into important profit tax and VAT liabilities in most CEE countries, major tax savings can be achieved for damaged / expired goods, technological losses and perishables. Return / re-sale of goods to suppliers the invoicing method of the products may trigger potential VAT risks at the level of the supplier. Review of ERP settings, VAT coding in ERP software or human error can lead to miscoding in the ERP system which may generate VAT liabilities. E-invoicing and e-archiving huge costs are incurred by both producers and retailers from archiving received and issued invoices. Under these circumstances, implementing electronic invoicing and archiving can result in significant savings if performed according to legislative requirements. Promotion, marketing and advertising activities, advertising services, voucher schemes and merchandising / sampling retailer and supplier promotional activities may generate profit tax and VAT risks. Suppliers may also have VAT benefits from using voucher schemes.
3 Specific issues applicable in each CEE country Furthermore, we have also identified a number of tax and legal issues common across the CEE region: Intra-group transactions / Cross-charges / Cost-sharing agreements Individual tax implications of prizes granted VAT rounding Consumer protection regulation VAT rates Mixed / composite / single supplies Packaging - environmental tax Use of economic customs procedures (e.g. free warehouse, inward processing relief) Invoice control (non-complete supplies) Authorised Economic Operator Electronic audits Franchise agreement Warranty returns Infrastructure works Proofs of origin Competition regulations Entrance and listing fees Coolers Implementing group logistics Cash register issue Alcohol used for technological purposes Inappropriate discharge of customs procedure Transfer pricing First-sale principle Excise duties on perfumes Specific authorisations for ancillary activities Euro conversion Product fee Lease agreement Deduction right information to be mentioned on documents Cultural tax CEE Atlas of R&C tax and legal issues In today s world, to stay ahead of competition, many multinationals are expanding their business models on a regional level.
