Supply Chain
Datasmart is our tax-aligned supply chain optimisation solutions unlock additional value and sustainable competitive advantages. Through our adaptive tax aligned supply chains (ATASC) methodology we assist companies to protect the increased profits and cash flows achieved through the optimisation of the supply chains from excessive income taxation. Importantly, through our ATASC approach, the tax function becomes proactively involved in the design (and redesign) of business processes that improve tax benefits as a natural result of the conduct of the business, rather than creating a tax strategy that does not fit the business model. Moreover, because ATASC is business process-based and built into the commercial model of the enterprise, it organically improves the effective tax rate and naturally scales with the business. Moreover, we understand that there is a significant saving below the line in reducing customs duties and our methodology and services therefore also address these issues and are not only focused on income tax. Through our ATASC methodology we assist companies to structure or restructure their supply chains in a tax-efficient manner that is supported by economic substance. Creating an adaptive tax-aligned supply chain involves quite a number of ancillary services, many of which are serviced by the Group itself.
