Case Study: Graebel reduces international tax liabilities with Wipfli

Wipfli’s expertise and global connections help worldwide moving company address international tax liabilities

Graebel, an international moving company based in the United States, needed help understanding the tax implications of a new Fortune 100 contract that required invoicing subsidiaries in multiple foreign countries. The company turned to Wipfli for international tax services to sort out potential VAT, GST, and withholding requirements.

Wipfli used its membership in PKF North America and association with PKF International to draw on a network of more than 440 member firms in 125 countries. Over about six months, Wipfli coordinated responses from roughly 24 countries on 6 continents, helping Graebel minimize international tax liabilities, avoid withholding taxes in some cases, and enter the contract with confidence in its estimates and costs.
