Download or read book European VAT Law as Interpreted by the Court of Justice written by Erik Stessens and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Value added tax (VAT) is often considered the most important development in tax of the past century. Although generally successful – it can account for a large proportion of state revenue – it has spawned its own set of complex problems that require a corresponding set of legal skills to resolve. This book, by systematically drawing out the rules from a thorough analysis of the VAT Directive and as good as every VAT case ever decided by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) (850 in all), is the ideal day-to-day guide to European VAT law. The rules – and their applications – for such VAT matters as the following are clearly described with examples: distinction between supplies of goods and services for VAT purposes; bundled supplies; intra-Community acquisitions; when tax liability starts and ends; place of supply rules and their exceptions; exemptions in the real estate, finance, and insurance sectors; import and export exemptions; right to deduct VAT; abuse of rights; the problem of incorrect invoices; refund of VAT; and special schemes. An extensive keyword register facilitates navigating the book. Developed from the author’s daily practice as a tax counsel, this book will be of immeasurable value to tax consultants, lawyers, in-house counsel, tax authority officials, and taxation academics, not only in Europe but beyond.
Download or read book Fundamentals of EU VAT Law written by Ad van Doesum and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-07-21 with total page 723 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Value added tax (VAT) is responsible for generating approximately €903 billion per year in tax revenues across the European Union – revenues that play a huge role in budgetary policymaking in the Member States. This extremely useful book provides not only a thorough description of the current state of EU VAT law, but also a detailed explanation of the system’s rationale and its legislative provisions. It puts the elements of the system in perspective and shows how they are linked to each other. The focus lies on the rules which can be deduced from the sources of EU VAT law and on their application in practice. The systematic presentation covers such issues and topics as the following: • sources of EU VAT law, including principles derived from CJEU case law; • principles underlying the EU VAT system; • relations among the layers of VAT law – primary and secondary EU law, national law; • how to apply the VAT legislation and case law; • allocation of taxing rights (place of supply rules); • invoicing requirements and other administrative obligations; • exemptions, VAT rates and the taxable amount; • the right of deduction of input VAT; • intra-Community transactions, importation and exportation; • immovable property; and • how far a national court must and can go in interpreting national provisions in the light of the VAT Directive and the principles underlying the VAT system. The book follows the structure of the VAT Directive/VAT determination scheme, with additional topical chapters on immovable property, intra-Community transactions, and importation and exportation of goods. With its detailed attention to the meaning and interpretation of each legislative provision and court ruling, this book serves as an incomparable guide for practitioners. Its emphasis on the rationale and systematics of the EU VAT system make it an indispensable reference for all tax law professionals and researchers.

Download or read book The 2010 VAT Directive and the Case Law of the Court of Justice of the European Union written by Yves Bernaerts and published by Intersentia. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its 2010 version, the VAT Directive (Directive 2006/112/EC) is a major step towards the single market in the EU. The 2010 text is a true revolution for entrepreneurs because of the new place of supply rules and the reporting requirements established in this respect. This book provides a clear chronological overview of the changes in the place of supply rules (step by step). It includes five different (and complete) versions of the new rules, starting with the 'old' regime of 2009, succeeded by the four versions in its changes for 2010, 2011, 2013, and 2015. This overview makes it possible to interpret the applicable text at a certain moment during the next years, despite its successive changes. The case law of the Court of Justice of the EU with regard to VAT is, more than ever, an essential source to understand difficulties in the interpretation of the text, with which businesses are increasingly confronted. It is here that the book will be most valuable. Apart from the provisions of the directives and regulations (including the proposal for the recast regulation) with regard to VAT, its purpose is to reveal and make available the links between all 414 articles (and the annexes) of the VAT Directive and the existing case law from the Court of Justice. The case law in connection with each article is directly accessible, and the book includes three indexes (chronological, alphabetical, and by reference to the articles of the directive) increasing its usability.
Download or read book The EU VAT System and the Internal Market written by Rita de La Feria and published by IBFD. This book was released on 2009 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses upon VAT in the context of the Community's internal market. Its central aim is to prove that the current EU VAT system is incompatible with the concept of internal market as set out in the EC Treaty and interpreted by the Court of Justice. The study commences with an analysis of the concept of internal market, the main objective of which is to establish the basic legal framework for the proposed thesis. As part of this examination, it is demonstrated that the EC Treaty creates a temporally unlimited obligation for the Community to approve legislation with the aim of establishing and improving the functioning of the internal market. By analysis of existing EU VAT jurisprudence, it is argued that obstacles cannot be overcome through incremental developments emerging from the Court of Justice, but can only be resolved by fundamental and substantive legislative amendment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important and recent judgments of the CJEU Considering the ever-increasing importance of indirect taxation as a source of revenue for governments, the intensifying complexity of the legal framework, and the proliferating number of countries adopting indirect taxation, it is essential to scrutinize how the law is applied in practice. The primary driving force in this area is, undoubtedly, the Court of Justice of the European Union. This book analyses selected topics (e.g. taxpayer rights in EU VAT law, bad debt and insolvency in VAT law, taxable base and rates, exemptions, and deductions) by examining the most prominent and recent judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Experts from all over the world, not just from academia but also government and judiciary representatives as well as tax practitioners, have provided their input and helped us compile what is an informative and worthy read for anyone dealing with indirect taxation on a professional basis.
Download or read book Intermediation of Insurance and Financial Services in European VAT written by Claus Bohn Jespersen and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current European VAT legislation encompassing insurance and financial services, including intermediation thereof, dates back to the adoption of the Sixth VAT Directive in 1977. The definitions do not, however, encompass the current complexity of insurance and financial transactions. This has resulted in considerable confusion for fiscal authorities and for businesses when deciding upon the application of the VAT exemption. As the correct VAT treatment has a significant economic impact on businesses, a great number of cases have been referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union. This is also the reason why the European Commission presented its proposal for the future treatment of insurance and financial services, including intermediation thereof, in November 2007. The political process has not yet been finalised and if the Commission's proposal is agreed upon, the question of understanding the definitions still exists. This book deals with the exemption for intermediation of insurance and financial services within European VAT. This implies analysing the methods of interpretation applied by the Court of Justice of the European Union when interpreting the provisions regarding insurance and financial services. Furthermore, the current definitions for intermediation of insurance and financial services as provided for in the VAT Directive are analysed and conclusions are made in order to define a single concept of intermediation. These analyses are followed by various practical scenarios from case law of the Member States concerning intermediation of insurance and financial services. Finally, comments based on the analyses carried out are given on the European Commission's proposal for amending the VAT Directive and the accompanying Regulation regarding intermediation of insurance and financial services.

Early July 2012, the Commission made available a list of guidelines agreed on by the VAT Committee. In footnotes, the guidelines are mentioned relating to the provision in question. An (unofficial) integrated text of the Sixth VAT Directive as applicable until 1 January 2007 is also included. The latest texts integrated into the text are Directive (EU) 2016/1056 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 17/2014.

Book excerpt: This book examines the case law of the European Court of Justice concerning the requirement to interpret national law in conformity with EU law directives. It offers an in-depth analysis of the application of this obligation in three Member States: Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands. The key question underlying this examination is to what extent the established theories of supremacy of EU law, national constitutionalism and constitutional pluralism adequately explain the relationship between EU and national law under the duty of consistent interpretation.

The latest directive integrated into the text is Directive 2006/98/EC of 20 December 2006. This integrated text is unofficial in nature, since headings and footnotes have been added and, where relevant, the text of other directives inserted.

In order to improve the drafting quality, the text of the Sixth Directive has undergone numerous changes. Although the changes do not affect its substantive content, they do alter the format with the 53 articles of the Sixth Directive divided into 414 new articles, of which article 411 repeals the Sixth Directive as set out in this integrated text "
