The story

Fiscalead is a French indirect-tax advisory firm (SAS, capital €5,000) providing operational assistance in VAT, customs and excise duties. It acts as a certified fiscal representative before French and European tax authorities for non-EU companies, handling VAT, Intrastat and customs filings. It has extended its consulting positioning into a productized SaaS play with TradeBox, an EU excise-compliance platform for alcohol sellers integrated with DHL Express — moving the firm from pure advisory into tax-compliance software.
