This live online seminar explains how an organisation in any of the 27 countries in the EU should account for VAT on its transactions with customers and suppliers in EU countries other than its own and in countries outside the EU. It will help people understand the major effects that the European Union and International Trade have upon the VAT administration of an organisation.

The seminar 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 EC Sales Lists and Intrastat, and explains the rules for reclaiming input tax incurred in an EU country other than one in which you have a VAT registration.
