Common EU Standard VAT Return Conference (2012-05-31)

Europe's lack of rules on VAT returns means that the particulars that have to go into them, how and when they need to be lodged and how errors are corrected vary among the EU Member States.

 
At the Green Paper conference in May 2011, it was stressed that several aspects of the current differences in national VAT returns are creating an additional administrative burden for business. They include the level of detail needed, how to interpret the information that's required, format/layout, submission deadlines, submission methods/mechanisms, and how to correct VAT return errors. Businesses VAT-registered in more than one Member State can have a hard and costly time filling in up to 27 different VAT returns.
 
In response to this and in line with the Communication on the future of VAT released in December 2011, the EU Commission has appointed PwC to conduct an expert study on the feasibility and economic  impact of a common EU standard VAT return.
 
The aim is to come up with a concept for a common EU standard VAT return that can be used by businesses VAT-registered in two or more EU Member States. Based on input from businesses, business organisations and tax authorities, we'll be making suggestions on what particulars should figure in the return and on a common approach to submission and VAT return corrections. We believe this study is a key project and will be of great relevance to both businesses and tax authorities across the EU, and beyond.
 
On Thursday, 31 May 2012 PwC is organising a conference to give a broad base of stakeholders (covering businesses, business organisations and tax authorities) the opportunity to get involved in this project.
