EFS, Erasmus University Rotterdam’s Post

Since 2020, I've had the privilege of conducting seminars on VAT, a topic that, while complex, is deeply connected with my appreciation for the European Union and its core values of freedom of movement. The EU's seamless flow of goods, services, and people motivates me, and I aim to share that understanding through my lectures. My message is consistent in such seminars that VAT isn't just about numbers and regulations—it's about understanding the broader picture of how our economies and societies are interconnected. It's about fostering a sense of unity and efficiency across borders. 💡 Your Input Matters! 💡 To my wonderful network: I want to ensure my seminars are as relevant and engaging as possible.

Very much looking forward to sharing my views on “Platforms and VAT” at the VAT Forum cvba's annual VAT Summit on 31 May 2024 in Malta. Let's discuss about the VAT E-Commerce package, #DAC7 as well as the upcoming changes with regard to #ViDA. #Umsatzsteuer #VAT #Mehrwertsteuer #Onlinemarktplatz #Marketplace #Ecommerce #Deemedsupply #deemedsupplier #Lieferkette #platformeconomy #DAC7 #PStTG #PlattformenSteuertransparenzgesetz #Plattformen #ViDA

Mazars in Malta My long time participation in discussions of the EU Council meetings were a very positive learning experience. Apart from providing me with an opportunity to serve my country, it was also a way to make me feel more European and to establish an excellent working relationship with officials from the Commission and from other member states. However, one important thing that I appreciate in my whole experience is the balance that exists between the collective interests of the European Union and the interests of individual member states. A balance that always prevails especially in moments of crisis. Although reaching unanimous agreement in the area of VAT could be a lengthy process, the progress achieved so far in the evolution of VAT is quite astounding. VAT has evolved into a dynamic system, according to the needs of the EU, without ignoring the realities of individual member states in a community full of diversity. Is it perfect? Of course not. Can it be improved? Yes, always. But it is really inspiring how the different economic, geographical and demographical realities of the member states combine together to ultimately produce directives and regulations that continue to strive towards the common goals of the European Union. It is this combination of communality, solidarity and subsidiarity that makes the EU a dynamic union founded on solid democratic values. Merit goes to the continuous valid contribution of officials from the EU institutions and from individual member states in all areas. These officials continue to keep alive the dream of those politicians with a vision who, in the last century, had started to build this European project.

Polecam publikacje. Oddaje skalę problematyki związanej z wdrożeniem #KSeF On July 1st, 2024 National System of e-Invoices - KSeF in #Poland will become mandatory. All inbound and outbound invoices will therefore be sent between companies via KSeF. This is definitely one of the biggest changes to the way business is conducted in Poland since introduction of VAT in 1993. I recommend the publications. It reflects the scale of problems related to the implementation https://lnkd.in/d8rGuNUD

VAT is neutral for businesses! This is possible due to deduction of input VAT suffered on inputs (expenses). So, getting your deductions right is essential because its impact is up to 19% of all your inputs. Join Alexis Tsielepis at our next seminar to discuss deductions and how to go about them!
