GST reclaim is a hidden savings opportunity for the APAC region

Now more than ever, it’s important for companies in the APAC region to take a strategic approach to manage resources. Focusing on revenue-generating activities and tightening budget wherever possible will help you weather storms and prepare for an uncertain future. The good news is that sometimes a forced re-focus brings opportunities to discover hidden savings.

Value Added Tax (VAT) / Goods & Services Tax (GST): A hidden savings opportunity

Many companies are unaware of just how much revenue is tied up in unclaimed VAT/GST reclaim from travel expenses and company invoices. The hassle of processing the reclaim often outweighs the perceived benefit. However, travel expenses alone represent a significant part of a company’s budget – up at least 20% and with VAT/GST rates averaging 27% across the globe, you could be missing out on significant savings potential.
