Collaboration supports German business expansion into Italy
When a German client needed support with VAT registration and business set-up guidance in Italy, Pape & Co turned to fellow member firm MGI Studio Pragma for assistance through the MGI Global VAT Group.
The referral brought together trusted expertise across Germany and Italy, helping the client access timely local guidance as they explored their next steps in the Italian market.
“Collaborating through the MGI VAT Group allows us to respond quickly to international opportunities and provide clients with trusted local expertise. Working alongside Pape & Co was a great example of how strong relationships within the network create value for clients expanding into new markets.”
— Francesco Bartolucci
Local VAT guidance when it mattered
Following the introduction from Pape & Co, MGI Studio Pragma quickly stepped in to support the client directly, providing guidance on Italian VAT registration requirements and the related compliance framework.
For the client, this meant practical advice from advisers who understood the local market. For both firms, it was another example of how MGI Worldwide connections can help members respond quickly to international business needs and create better outcomes for clients.
“Having reliable MGI colleagues in Italy meant we could immediately connect our client with experienced local advisers. The cooperation with MGI Studio Pragma was seamless and reflects the strength of the MGI VAT Group in supporting cross-border business needs.”
— Franziska Meschgang
