Event Synopsis

As Nordic companies expand beyond Sweden and increase cross-border trade, finance leaders are facing growing complexity around U.S. sales tax, global VAT, and customs and duties. Importing and exporting into new markets introduces unfamiliar rules, fragmented tax regimes, and operational risk – often stretching lean finance and tax teams beyond their limits.

 

This closed-door roundtable brings together Nordic finance and tax leaders who are actively trading internationally to share practical experiences, lessons learned, and approaches to managing indirect tax as their businesses scale. Through peer-led discussion, attendees will explore how to gain visibility into obligations, reduce compliance risk, and build scalable processes that support international growth without adding unnecessary complexity or headcount.
