Overview

Encompassing the most important features of the European VAT system, the EU VAT Compass 2008 is an essential source of reference for all those actively working or interested in VAT. The book consists of three sections, each comprising a vital element of the European legislation.

  • The first section presents the text of the provisions of the new Community VAT Directive, which came into effect on 1 January 2007, and the corresponding provisions of the former Community VAT Directive (the Sixth Directive).
  • For the interpretation of the Community VAT legislation, the case law of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) is an indispensable element. For that reason, the second section of the book gives an overview of the operative parts of the more than 350 ECJ judgments in VAT cases.
  • The book concludes with an overview of the options laid down by the VAT Directive that have been taken up by the individual Member States. This comprehensive analysis contains all 27 EU Member States.
