Customs Support: Streamlined and Accelerated Procedures

Our customs specialists continuously monitor regulatory developments in order to provide innovative solutions. In collaboration with leading partners, we develop exclusive offers such as the YET (Yacht Engaged in Trade) program, specifically designed for private yachts wishing to offer charter services.

We work directly with the French and Monegasque tax authorities, without intermediaries. This direct relationship significantly reduces processing times: for example, an import procedure can be finalized within 24 hours after receipt of the required documents.

Tax Compliance & Dedicated Support

Fiscal Representation: Compliance and European Expertise

Since 2013, VAT has applied to yacht charters within European waters. Companies owning pleasure yachts are now required to appoint a fiscal representative for their VAT declarations. Layton meets this requirement with a complete offering of fiscal representation and customs management, tailored to both private and commercial yachts.

Our dedicated team ensures full compliance with European regulations, particularly for offshore companies and complex ownership structures. We provide tailor-made support to your teams and representatives with complete confidentiality.
