BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Cross Border Transactions and International Trade often give rise to new situations/scenarios wherein a differentiating factor may trigger a change in the VAT treatment adopted in similar past transactions. In this respect it often happens that one is not fully aware as to which is the correct VAT Treatment to be adopted in such situations, keeping in mind also the VAT treatment being adopted by the involved parties in other countries and EU Member states.

OBJECTIVES OF THE SESSION

The scope of the session is to first give an overview of the main types of cross border transactions that may exist (Part 1 - ICS/ICAs/Triangulation, Imports/Exports, Distance Sales, Part 2 - EU cross border supplies of services including tele-communications, Broadcasting and Electronically Supplied Services, Non-EU Supplies of Services etc.) and their respective VAT treatment. We will also identify the questions which need to be answered, which criteria need to be satisfied, and the procedure which needs to be adopted in each case to arrive at the appropriate VAT Treatment. We will also discuss the concept of Reverse Charge Mechanism and how it is to be applied and how such cross-border transactions are to be declared in the local VAT Forms (VAT Returns, Recapitulative Statements, Intrastat Forms, Forms 04 etc.)

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

The scope of this session is to explain in a user friendly manner the thought process how one determines the correct VAT treatment of cross border transactions. It will start off with refreshing the VAT basics which are fundamental in order to arrive at the correct VAT treatment and moves on to tackling the vast majority of cross border transactions by means of practical examples explaining; how and why a particular VAT treatment was arrived at, the respective VAT implications and how this is to be declared in the VAT Return and other applicable VAT forms. As always, active participation and questions from participants are encouraged and will be tackled and answered during the session itself making the session more useful and relevant for all those participants .

Target Audience

Accounting Practitioners and other accounting staff dealing with the vat treatment of international trade and cross border transactions and with VAT Returns preparation
