BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Cross border E-Commerce trade has become the main manner in which goods and services are transacted due to the time and cost efficiency they offer to suppliers and customer alike.  With the increase in its popularity the respective VAT treatment has developed accordingly in order to cater for the ever increasing volumes so as to simplify compliance obligations as much as possible for the parties involved but at the same time ensuring that the necessary control procedures are in place to avoid and minimize abuse and fraud.

OBJECTIVES OF THE SESSION

Throughout this seminar we will be discussing how e-commerce VAT rules developed in recent years and the respective implications on the industry operators. Particular emphasis will be placed on the latest EU developments that took place in 2019 and more importantly those in 2021 relating to the changes/simplification measures in the Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) system and the cross-border B2C supplies of goods (distance sales) regime.

Specific topics to be covered during the session
