Challenge

Ensuring Compliance Across Diverse Fiscal Environments

A leading international hobby retailer was navigating an increasingly complex fiscal landscape as it expanded its global retail footprint. 

Fiscal regulations varied significantly from country to country — even within the European Union — and were evolving rapidly. In several markets, compliance was not simply a reporting requirement but a precondition for trading, with strict controls enforced at the point of sale. 

For a retailer pursuing rapid international growth, fiscalisation represented a material operational risk. If not implemented correctly and consistently, it could slow market entry, fragment the POS estate and undermine day-to-day trading continuity. The business needed expert guidance to ensure fiscal compliance was embedded holistically across markets, without disrupting operations or future expansion plans. 

Approach

Global Fiscal Expertise Tailored To Retail

PMC partnered with the client to deliver specialised fiscal consultancy across multiple regions. The engagement focused on providing clear, actionable insights into local fiscal and compliance frameworks, supporting both existing operations and new market entries.

Drawing on PMC’s extensive experience in retail and fiscal compliance, the consultancy team conducted in-depth reviews across 21 countries spanning Europe and Asia-Pacific. These reviews helped identify key local requirements and emerging legislation that could affect point-of-sale operations and digital reporting.

PMC’s strong partnerships with international fiscal experts ensured the client received the most accurate, up-to-date information possible, while a repeatable consultancy model enabled efficient, ongoing updates as regulations changed.

Solution

Proactive Fiscal Review And Advisory Framework

PMC developed a structured, scalable framework for fiscal consultancy, enabling the client’s tax and finance teams to stay informed about current and upcoming regulatory developments.

The framework provides:

  • Regular fiscal reviews and updates across priority markets
  • Country-specific recommendations for maintaining compliance
  • Advance insight into upcoming legislative changes
  • Practical guidance tailored to retail operations and future expansion

This proactive approach allows the client’s to anticipate fiscal changes early, adapt internal processes and reduce compliance risks as it grows globally.

Outcome

Confidence And Clarity In International Expansion

With PMC’s support, the client now benefits from a consistent, reliable view of fiscal requirements across its global operations. The consultancy has strengthened the company’s ability to make informed decisions, supporting both day-to-day compliance and long-term strategic growth.

Fiscalisation is much more than a tax requirement – it’s a business-critical capability. If implemented correctly it allows retailers to expand globally without disruption, ensures compliance at every transaction and reduces operational risk.

By combining deep retail understanding with specialist fiscal knowledge, PMC has become a trusted partner in helping the client maintain compliance excellence and prepare confidently for future expansion.

This project reflects a wider shift explored in our recent perspective, Retail’s Compliance Revolution, which examines why fiscal compliance has become a live operational constraint for global retailers. 


As our business continues to expand internationally, understanding the fiscal landscape in each market is essential. PMC’s expertise has given us the clarity and confidence we need to operate compliantly and plan our next steps effectively.
