All about VAT    

Tailored seminars for tax practitioners

Specializing in VAT has become a necessity for professionals within companies' tax teams. The legislation complexity, its frequent changes, the increasingly sophisticated reporting requirements entail both new administrative burdens and good knowledge of VAT.

In this context, Deloitte’s VAT department has structured the seminar "All about VAT" in two modules - basic and advanced - precisely in order to give tax practitioners the possibility to choose the option that answers the problems that they face in their current position.

The seminars will take place in Bucharest, as follows:

  • February 5, 2019 - Basic module
  • February 12,  2019 - Advanced module

"The experience of the last 12 years of activity, since the implementation of the VAT Directive until now, has helped us in identifying the skills and competencies necessary for specialists of tax departments in order to successfully navigate through the labyrinth of VAT legislation. Each member of the team needs specific knowledge of VAT, from junior level to manager or CFO", explains Raluca Bâldea, Indirect Tax Director.

Basic module

The basic module is mainly addressed to professionals with 1 to 3 years of experience that are preparing internal reports and VAT returns and are present during tax audits.

At the end of this module, the participants:

  • Will understand how the VAT system works;
  • Will have a clear understanding of VAT returns;
  • Will be prepared to assess the accuracy of invoices, as well as to identify situations where transport documents, customs export or import declarations are required.

"The members of your team participating in this module will be prepared for VAT reporting, but also for VAT audits either as a result of a VAT refund request or as a result of a check by the authorities. It is fundamental for the financial department to know the formal requirements of an invoice. The most common reason for rejecting the VAT deduction right continues to be the failure to comply with the invoicing requirements", explains Ana Săbiescu, VAT Manager.

Advanced module

The advanced module is addressed to tax managers with a minimum of 3-5 years of experience willing to expand their knowledge in the VAT area related to:

  • The challenges of the applied tax treatment;
  • VAT risk management;
  • Potential VAT risks and ways of mitigating or reducing them;
  • Customs legislation impact on transactions with goods and related VAT implications;
  • Acting as an export of record in chain transactions;
  • Methods to obtain the VAT exemption for imports;
  • Adjustment of customs value and related VAT implications;
  • VAT implications depending on various factors within chain transactions with goods (i.e. where the goods arrive, who is responsible for the transport, what VAT ID was used, INCOTERMS conditions, who are the customers/vendors, etc.);
  • Identifying relevant items from a VAT perspective in case of supplies of services: what type of service is supplied, if it is a complex service, who is the beneficiary of the service if the service would not benefit from an exemption, etc.

"Recent CJEU case law underlines, despite the VAT neutrality principle, that VAT deduction can be rejected if VAT was incorrectly charged. Thus, we reiterate the necessity to check the VAT treatment, especially in the case of chain supplies of goods, as the VAT deduction is not guaranteed only by being mentioned on the invoice.", says Ana Săbiescu, VAT Manager.

During the seminar, our team will share their experience gained while assisting during tax audits.

The agenda can be tailored to the profile of the participants in this module and the industry in which they operate so that we can focus on the interested areas.
