The German VAT Treatment of Exhibition, Conference and Seminar Services

Course review:

It could be very easy for you to apply the wrong VAT treatment if you do not understand the differences between 'letting of space', 'the supply of ancillary services' and 'the supply of admission'. It is vitally important to recognise in the context of exhibitions when there is a land related supply and German VAT has to be charged and when there is a supply to which the reverse charge has to be applied.
