The 5 decisions, Media & hospitality edition

Every play in this sector is built on the same five calls.

  1. 1

    Entity

    BV, branch or a holding above it. The structure decides liability, tax and how you take money out.

  2. 2

    VAT timing

    When you register, how you invoice cross-border and whether reverse charge or OSS applies to you.

  3. 3

    Permits

    The sector licences and registrations to check before you sell, ship, build or hire.

  4. 4

    First hires

    Payroll registration, contracts and whether a director, employee or contractor fits the role.

  5. 5

    Accounting

    Bookkeeping, filing deadlines and the annual accounts every BV has to publish.
