Tax Challenges
Imported vs Local Fabric VAT
Imported fabric is subject to import VAT that needs crediting, while local fabric already includes VAT from suppliers. Careful reconciliation is needed.
Garment Exports and VAT Exemption
Garment exports qualify for VAT exemption but require valid export documents and correct claim processes.
Custom Orders and Tax Invoices
Orders from corporate clients require correct tax invoices while retail orders do not always require them.
Thin Margins with High Volume
