Resumen del editor. "Published annually, this two-volume set provides a comprehensive overview of the most essential parts of VAT Directives in Europe. Volume 1 offers a systematic survey of the implications of the legal principles on indirect tax matters and of the VAT rules of the European Union in force, and a discussion of the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union in indirect tax matters, particularly in VAT. Volume 2 provides an (unofficial) integrated text of Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 (the Sixth Directive as amended by subsequent directives, treaties of accession and regulations), as applicable until 1 January 2007. The articles of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1777/2005 of 17 October 2005, laying down implementing measures, are indicated under the articles of the Sixth Directive to which they relate. 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. On 28 November 2006, Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax (the Recast of the First and Sixth VAT Directives) was adopted, entering into force on 1 January 2007. 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 "
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.
Parties to cross-border disputes arising anywhere in the vast Portuguese-speaking world – a community of more than 230 million in a space that offers a wide array of investment opportunities across four continents – increasingly seek Portugal as their preferred seat of arbitration. A signatory to all relevant international conventions, Portugal has proven to be an ‘arbitration-friendly’ jurisdiction. This volume is the first and so far only book in English that provides a thorough, in-depth analysis of international arbitration law and practice in Portugal. Its contributing authors are among the most highly regarded legal names in the country, including scholars, arbitrators, and practitioners. The authors describe how international arbitration proceedings are conducted in Portugal, what cautions should be taken, and what procedural strategies may be suitable in particular cases. They provide insightful answers to questions such as the following: What matters can be submitted to arbitration under Portuguese law? What are the validity requirements for an arbitration agreement? How do the State courts interact with arbitration proceedings and what is the attitude of such courts toward international arbitration? What are the rules governing evidentiary matters in arbitration? How is an arbitration tribunal constituted? How are arbitrators appointed? How may they be challenged? How can an international arbitral award be recognized and enforced? How does the Portuguese legal system address the issue of damages and what specific damages are admitted? How are the costs of arbitration proceedings estimated and allocated? The book includes analyses of arbitration related to specific fields of the law, notably sports, administrative, tax, intellectual property rights (especially regarding reference and generic medicines), and corporate disputes. Each chapter provides, for the topics it addresses, an examination of the applicable laws, rules, arbitration practice, and views taken by arbitral tribunals and state courts as well as those of the most highly considered scholars. As a detailed examination of the legal framework and of all procedural steps of an arbitration in Portugal, from the drafting of an arbitration agreement to the enforcement of an award, this book constitutes an invaluable resource for parties involved in or considering an international arbitration in this country. The guidance that it seeks to provide in respect of any problem likely to arise in this context can be useful to arbitrators, judges, academics, and interested lawyers.
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 actually 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. the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and VAT, 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 representatives and 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.

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.
The report The Fight Against Fraud On The EU's Finances (HL 158) examines the effectiveness of the EU's system of protection from financial fraud, and identifies a number of weaknesses. EU law obliges both the European Commission and the Member States to combat fraud on the EU's finances. However, the onus to protect the EU's financial interests falls mainly on the individual Member States because they are responsible for administering 80% of the EU funds. The 404 million Euros cited by the Commission in its annual report offers only a glimpse of the levels of fraud perpetrated against the EU's budget, the Committee believes five billion Euros is a closer figure. Evidence presented to the Committee suggests that some Member States do not take their anti-fraud responsibilities seriously. Responsibilities for anti-fraud should include: (i) looking for fraud against the EU's budget; (ii) informing the relevant EU authorities
