How VAT works in EU and rules in Member States

The European Union is a mix of Member States – different languages, economic success and social patterns drawn together under one tax – Value Added Tax. Does each Member State enact VAT exactly as in the legislation and exactly as its neighbour? Where does Brexit leave the UK? This course is centred on the core EU VAT legislation, Directive 2006/112/EC (as updated and amended) and gives an insight into local practice within Member States and the differences between them. An outline of the rules in each Member State is covered under the content headings. Live updates will be made as the impact of Brexit unfolds.
