“Due to Meridian’s professionalism in the VAT recovery solution the VAT amounts identified totally cover Meridian’s transaction fee” Airbus in France.

Black & Decker

"We recently changed to Meridian as our VAT agent, primarily because we felt their reporting system was far superior to our old service provider. We had worked with the Meridian team on a smaller scale prior to then, and found them very professional and helpful to deal with. We look forward to nurturing the very positive working relationship which already exists between us." Black & Decker

Anheuser-Busch Inbev

"Meridian has been successfully supporting us since 2005 in recovering foreign VAT and VAT on expense notes, which was too time consuming for us to do ourselves, but more importantly in being our business partner in the framework of our Global Tax Risk Management policy through their VAT Assure program. Very flexible and client oriented approach which leads to very little efforts requested from us as the client." Anheuser-Busch InBev

Airbus UK

"As per usual, you have proved yourselves to be a reliable supplier and support to Airbus" Philip Oliver - Airbus UK

CHEP

"Having examined closely all alternative solutions available on the market, Expenseflo stood out as the clear front runner. In the current economic climate cutting costs and gaining efficiencies are top of the agenda and Meridian was able to demonstrate where Expenseflo will deliver savings for CHEP. We were also keen to engage with a company with a proven track record in the area of maximising VAT recovery."

NACCO Materials Handling Limited

“I have worked with Meridian for a number of years now and I appreciate most the fact that there has been complete continuity of service from my dedicated account manager for most of those years. We have successfully filed reclaims through Meridian in a number of countries across Europe with limited questions from the authorities and our refunds have been received much quicker than through our last service provider. We are now expanding our relationship with Meridian to include VAT registrations and compliance and this is already proving beneficial compared to previous consultants.” NACCO Materials Handling Limited

Seagate

"Meridian provide Seagate with a professional, timely and efficient service to meet the VAT compliance requirements in countries which require local knowledge and language skills."

Sony Mobile

"It has been a pleasure working with Meridian. The expense management solution they provide Sony was tailored to fit our specific needs. They consistently provide us with a great level of service and are always willing to help out with new requests or suggest improvements to make our lives easier. Adding the Benefit in Kind (BIK) compliance analysis has added real value to the service. The real winner for us has been the VAT recovery. This project has been self-financed through the VAT recovery process." Samantha Mile, Financial Controller at Sony Mobile

Sun-Microsystems

“The implementation of Expenseflo provided us with a centralised T&E management solution, giving us clear visibility on T&E spend while providing our users with a single transparent process.” Sun Microsystems

Tokyo Electron Europe

"Tokyo Electron is a global leader within the semi-conductor industry, which supplies the best products with leading edge technology. The company provides outstanding support worldwide. It also provides a range of products and services to after-market customers. With over 10,000 employees across Japan, US, Asia and Europe with 2009 global sales revenues of over 5Billon Yen for the Group, the company has a highly complex business structure. Consequently, the company's logistical infrastructure has to be managed on many different levels. One area where a complex supply chain management requires support is indirect tax, or VAT, consulting. The European headquarters of Tokyo Electron have worked with the Meridian Global Services UK team for several years on a variety of VAT consulting projects covering a number of European Union Member States, as well as other non EU countries. Having one point of contact with regards to all our VAT consultancy needs brought us to a new level of visibility and control of what is done in the regions where we operate. Another area of support from Meridian's was their assistance in resolving Tokyo Electron's complex foreign VAT issues. By means of retrospective foreign VAT registrations, over €1m was unlocked. In this instance, Meridian provided practical assistance by acting on our behalf as negotiator with foreign authorities, advisor on contractual issues, assisting in negotiations with our customers to ensure that matters were concluded within the statutory time limits."
