This seminar explains how a UK organisation should account for VAT on its transactions with overseas customers and suppliers. Organisations which have a presence in more than one of the member states of the European Union may additionally benefit from The Essential Guide to the European System of VAT.

The seminar covers the new rules which apply from 1 January 2010.

The seminar will help people understand the major effects that the European Union and International Trade have upon the VAT administration of a UK organisation, and it clearly illustrates the procedures and controls to be implemented to comply with the requirements.

It demonstrates how to account correctly for VAT on the acquisition and despatch of goods and related services between member states of the European Union, and on the import and export of goods from and to non-EU countries. The seminar also addresses the issues associated with international services, such as place of supply, VAT liability and the reverse charge. It illustrates the completion of the VAT return, EC Sales Lists and Intrastat, and includes an overview of the VAT rates, registration thresholds and rules for reclaiming input tax in the other 26 countries of the EU.

The seminar describes the new rules which apply to the
supply of international services from 1 January 2010 and illustrates the rules by giving practical examples.
