PAY VAT WHERE VAT’S DUE: PLACE OF SUPPLY RULES
The Chelco VAT International Academy continues its series of high-level VAT educational events with a morning seminar focussing on the VAT Place of Supply Rules.
Place of Supply determines where a transaction is taxed for VAT purposes and which Member State has the taxing rights. To this effect, it determines to which national legislation one must refer to be able to determine country specific considerations such as exemptions, VAT rate, reverse charge mechanisms, compliance requirements and other conditions, which are up to each Member State to determine and implement.
The Managing Director of Chelco VAT and Lead Instructor of the Academy, Alexis Tsielepis, together with fellow Director, Panayiotis Panayi, will examine the rules that determine where a transaction is taxed for VAT purposes. The seminar will discuss the different VAT Directive rules that determine where a transaction is taxed for VAT purposes with illustrative examples.
The seminar is open to any professional with exposure to VAT matters such as:
- Accountants
- Business consultants
- Business managers
- Financial officers and controllers
- Lawyers
- Any other professional dealing with VAT matters
