SOS Yachting is excited to announce that it will open a new office ‘SOS Yachting Spain’, which will be dedicated to providing VAT services to commercial yachts chartering in Spanish waters. Located in the popular Spain yacht charter destination – Barcelona, the new office will be officially open on Friday, April 11, 2014.
SOS Yachting, the European leader in VAT services to the yachting industry specialized in fiscal representation and fiscal agency services, was founded in Italy in 2012 following the enforcement of common VAT regulations throughout the EU.
In the wake of a highly successful first season SOS Yachting in association with Thierry Voisin opened SOS Yachting France in Nice in 2013. With a fleet of over 200 yachts (and counting) SOS Yachting helps clients navigate the often choppy waters of international regulations as applied in different EU countries.
Mr. Alessandro Mazzoni, CEO of SOS Yachting, explains “Our challenge is to ensure that wherever our clients wish to charter, they can do so with the knowledge that we are providing them with accurate and timely solutions and ensuring that their vacation is stress free”.
SOS Yachting is staffed by a team of long-term professional with over 40 years’ experience backed by an international team of maritime legal advisors and accounting experts. The maritime lawyer León von Ondarza, who specialises in maritime law applied to the yachting industry, will be providing counsel and guidance to the new Spanish branch of SOS Yachting from his offices in Palma de Mallorca.
Mr. Mazzoni continues: “SOS Yachting is unique in the industry since we understand the requirements of large commercial yachts with demanding schedules and provide tailor-made assistance to support their charter plans. And we are available 24/7 during the season”.
“We are very excited about our new operation in Spain.” Mr. Mazzoni concluded “On account of the limitations imposed by past Spanish regulations, compared to most of the western Med, Spain is still unspoiled and we look forward to a busy season assisting yachts chartering in this stunning area”.
