SOS Yachting

SOS Yachting provides specialized fiscal representation and tax compliance services for both EU and non-EU yacht-owning companies operating within the European Union. Founded in 2012, the company maintains a presence in major yachting hubs across Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, and Spain. This regional network allows SOS Yachting to offer local expertise and operational guidance tailored to the specific regulations of each Mediterranean jurisdiction.

The company manages VAT positions for a fleet of over 700 customers, leveraging more than 40 years of collective experience in the yachting sector. Services include managing charter licenses, handling VAT recovery, and advising on the YET scheme. By focusing on the commercial yachting market, SOS Yachting addresses the administrative and linguistic challenges that often complicate fiscal compliance during a busy charter season.

Beyond standard representation, SOS Yachting assists with sales and purchase compliance and provides consultancy on tax matters for yacht transactions. The company also handles VAT exemptions for repair and refit works, ensuring that commercial vessels remain compliant with evolving maritime laws. This support extends to representing clients during inspections and providing real-time regulatory intelligence to keep owners and managers informed.

In-house fiscal experts at SOS Yachting maintain professional relationships with industry regulators to ensure all charter operations meet current legal requirements. The company also offers fiscal training to help businesses understand the complexities of European tax systems. This comprehensive approach is designed to minimize regulatory hurdles and provide reliable, objective support for large-scale yacht operations.
