Over 100 countries now have some form of value added taxation (VAT). Therefore it has become one of the most significant taxes applied in the world today. The International VAT Monitor is the only international journal to concentrate exclusively on this still rapidly developing area.

New version of the consolidated text of the EU VAT legislation included
In January this year the recast of the Sixth VAT Directive has been released by the European Union. IBFD has included a user-friendly two-column version of the EU VAT legislation in the International VAT Monitor online. This version contains in the left column the provisions of Directive 2006/112 in consecutive order and in the right column the corresponding provisions of the old Sixth VAT Directive.
