Fiscal Representation
Fiscal Representation is about tax compliance, particularly VAT/GST, for non-resident businesses. It involves appointing a representative in a foreign country to handle tax-related obligations, particularly for Value Added Tax (VAT) or Goods and Services Tax (GST), on behalf of a non–resident business. This is common in countries where businesses without a local presence need to comply with tax laws.
Key Responsibilities :
- Registering for VAT/GST in the country of operation.
- Filing VAT/GST returns and ensuring timely tax payments.
- Acting as the point of contact for local tax authorities.
- Maintaining compliance with local tax regulations.
Who Needs It :
- Non-resident businesses selling goods or services in a country that requires VAT/GST registration (e.g., EU countries, UK).
- Companies importing goods for resale or distribution.
Example :
- A Canadian e-commerce company selling to customers in France may appoint a fiscal representative in France to register for VAT, file returns, and pay taxes on their behalf.
Sales Agent
A Sales Agent is an individual or entity authorised to act on behalf of a company to promote, market, or sell its products or services in a specific region or market. Sales agents typically work on a commission basis and do not take ownership of the goods.
Sales Agent focuses on market expansion and sales, acting as a representative to drive business growth without handling logistics or tax compliance.
Key Responsibilities :
- Identifying and contacting potential customers.
- Negotiating sales contracts or deals.
- Representing the company’s brand and products in the market.
- Providing market feedback and insights to the principal company.
Key Characteristics :
- Sales agents do not purchase or hold inventory (unlike distributors).
- They act as intermediaries, facilitating sales between the company and the customer.
- Contracts often define territories, commission rates, and responsibilities.
Example :
- A German machinery manufacturer might hire a sales agent in Brazil to promote its products to local industries, leveraging the agent’s local market knowledge and network.
