Refresh on VAT basics and VAT updates
- Are you aware of the changes in the Luxembourg VAT environment (e.g. Luxembourg VAT Law, draft finance bill, new circulars, VAT group)?
- Do you understand the practical impacts on your business of the latest decisions from the Court of Justice of the European Union?
- Are you familiar with the Luxembourg administrative practice, particularly in terms of VAT registration documentation, and typical points of attention in the audits performed by the VAT authorities?
- Do you apply an appropriate VAT treatment to Directors’ fees?
- Are you familiar with the recent and upcoming changes at EU and international level?
- Have you considered whether your business will be directly or indirectly impacted or not by the above?
A good understanding of the VAT rules and upcoming changes is a must in any business. In fact, for businesses operating in both the financial and non-financial sectors, knowledge in this area can help them mitigate VAT risks, reduce the final VAT cost, and avoid pre-financing.
