Iris Sijtsma

Personal quote / view

VAT and customs regulations are constantly changing. I like to strive for the correct and optimal application of laws and regulations in this changing landscape. I have been doing this at Mazars since 2015 for companies in various sectors. As a broadly oriented advisor within the VAT and customs practice, I like to think along with clients about the possibilities within the outlined frameworks.

Specialist experience

  • As a tax advisor, I deal with VAT and customs advice. Within this specialism I have a broad focus on all facets of VAT and customs practice in the Netherlands and the EU. I advise companies in the context of both national and international situations.

Specific client experience

  • With my knowledge and experience, I assist companies in the entire field of VAT and customs, regarding the movement of goods and services.
  • For example, I advise companies on the correct and optimal flow of goods in international goods traffic. Hereby I assist from the moment of import into the EU until the delivery to the final customer. In this context, I am responsible for advising on VAT and customs as well as VAT compliance in the Netherlands.
  • Specific VAT regulations apply when providing services to consumers across the EU. This may also involve simplifications. I also advise companies in that context on the most optimal situation from a VAT perspective for the specific activities.
