VAT and International Trade – Undiscovered Issues Related to Cross-Border E-Commerce
This 1-hour webinar gives a practical overview of the controversial VAT aspects of cross-border e- commerce and possible solutions. The purpose of the webinar is to help practitioners identify, understand and address the VAT obligations related to cross-border e-commerce transactions and the aspects of exports and imports in international chain transactions, providing the tools to spot these issues.
Become aware of the main challenges for cross-border e-commerce transactions within the European Union and with third countries:
- VAT liabilities for traders selling to customers in other countries
- possibilities to reduce red tape by using one-stop shop regimes
- distinguishing between the deemed supply rule for undisclosed agents of article14(2)(c) of the VAT Directive and the platform liability rule of article 14a of the VAT Directive when selling through online marketplaces
Stay alert to the consequences of structuring chain transactions with shipment from the European Union or from outside the European Union
Anticipate the customs implications of transfer pricing adjustments and identify when royalties and licences can become part of the customs value of importations of goods or not.
After following this webinar, participants will be able to:
- identify the place of supply and who is liable for the VAT for e-commerce traders
- interpret and define the scope of the requirements for this type of business and manage the possible compliance issues
- prevent issues arising from companies unaware of the VAT implications of selling goods while goods are in transit
- define the proper framework to structure e-commerce businesses and be able to provide solutions to your organization or your clients
The webinar is suitable for all tax professionals, including accountants, in-house tax personnel (e.g. directors or managers), lawyers, advisers, policymakers and government officials who deal with cross-border transactions, structures or cases and wish to understand the risks, challenges and controversies related to international trade and VAT.
