Mervärdesskatt och tullavgifter

I denna bok presenteras gällande svensk lagstiftning, EU-rätt och relevant rättspraxis avseende mervärdesskatt. Utmärkande för framställningen är kombinationen av teoretiskt och praktiskt anslag. Författarna representerar både den vetenskapligt och den praktiskt verksamma sidan på mervärdesskatteområdet.

Mervärdesskatt i teori och praktik är indelad i en allmän och i en särskild del. I den allmänna delen behandlas mervärdesskattens syfte och utformning, principer, rättskällor samt skattskyldighet och avdragsrätt. Denna del är avsedd att ge läsaren grunderna för mervärdesskatten och därmed underlätta studiet av de frågor som behandlas i den särskilda delen av boken.

I den särskilda delen ges fördjupade redogörelser och i vissa fall författarnas egna synpunkter på ett urval aktuella problemområden, t.ex. företagsförvärv, gränsöverskridande handel, fastigheter och konkurssituationer. Avsikten har i första hand varit att åstadkomma en problemorienterad, snarare än en heltäckande framställning.

Bokens upplägg gör att den med fördel kan användas såväl i skatterättsutbildning på universitets- och högskolenivå som av praktiskt verksamma jurister och ekonomer.

Mervärdesskatt har funnits i Sverige sedan 1969. Strax dessförinnan beslutade de dåvarande EG-länderna (numera EU) att det var just mervärdesskatt som skulle användas som gemensam allmän konsumtionsskatt. Sedan dess har mervärdesskatten fått ett stort genomslag internationellt. I princip alla betydelsefulla ekonomier förutom USA använder mervärdesskatt av något slag för att beskatta sin konsumtion. Mervärdesskatten är en viktig inkomstkälla för staten. Denna bok är främst avsedd som lärobok och introduktion för dem som vill lära sig och förstå mervärdesskattens grunder.

The third edition of EU Customs Law provides a fully updated treatment of legislation, new treaties and cases in the two courts of the EU especially but also in Member States.This volume also includes commentary on the Union Customs Code and secondary legislation, and increased coverage of areas such as the wider role of customs authorities apart from the collection of customs duty, such as security of goods and post 9/11 developments generally, the history of customs unions and their implications for governments, non-EU customs unions to which EU law is relevant, and the inter-relation between customs duty and direct tax.

With the growth of the digitalized economy, VAT on cross-border digital supplies has emerged as an important issue. Yet, views and practices regarding the application of the VAT on these supplies differ significantly across different jurisdictions. A lack of international VAT harmonization can cause double taxation or unintended double non-taxation, resulting in distortions and revenue losses.VAT in the Digital Era considers unilateral and multilateral options for the creation of an internationally coordinated VAT framework. Providing analysis of the status quo in key jurisdictions, the book explores the implications of the digitalized economy for the VAT systems across borders. It outlines possible approaches that can be taken to achieve a more consistent international VAT treatment of cross-border supplies, and the extent to which a multilateral solution would be preferable and achievable at the international level.Bringing together contributions from leading international voices in the VAT law and policy and international taxation fields, VAT in the Digital Era addresses current issues and proposes ways to coordinate VAT rules on cross-border digital supplies. This new book is essential reading for academics, researchers, governments, and other financial organisations involved with the world's most important indirect tax.

Weaponising Evidence provides the first analysis of the history of the international law on tobacco control. By relying on a vast set of empirical sources, it analyses the negotiation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and the tobacco control disputes lodged before the WTO and international investment tribunals (Philip Morris v Uruguay and Australia - Plain Packaging). The investigation focuses on two main threads: the instrumental use of international law in the warlike confrontation between the tobacco control advocates and the tobacco industry, and the use of evidence as a weapon in the conflict. The book unveils important lessons on the functioning of international organizations, the role of corporate actors and civil society organizations, and the importance and limits of science in law-making and litigation.

This is a timely update of Ian Fleming’s invaluable guide, first published in 2006.For anyone involved in the administration of golf clubs, and in particular with their finances, grappling with VAT has been a thorny issue ever since it was introduced in the UK in 1973.This book explains the basic rules of VAT as they affect golf clubs. Written for club secretaries, treasurers, finance committee chairmen and accounting practices that have golf clubs as their clients, it highlights many of the most common problems likely to arise in the context of VAT. The author offers practical advice, such as how to avoid an unexpected VAT bill on a refurbishment of the clubhouse.With this book as a reference, it will be easier to avoid the many VAT ""bunkers"" which can create unwelcome and costly traps for golf clubs.The third edition includes a new chapter to cover the consequences of the Bridport and West Dorset Golf Club case and new HMRC guidance.

VAT and Financial Services takes the reader through the relevant legislation and case law, the legal concepts such as time and place of supply, the distinction between goods and services, what is taxable, and the interaction of these elements; examines the consequences of outsourcing (through a detailed study of 10 significant cases); looks at the key issues facing financial services and insurance; and then discusses the VAT cost sharing exemption.Since the third edition, there have been significant developments, including (most obviously) Brexit. The key VAT change is that EU legislation is no longer primary legislation (although many EU VAT principles, obligations and rights have been 'retained') and ECJ court decisions are, in general, no longer binding although 'a court or tribunal may have regard to anything done on or after exit day by the European Court, another EU entity or the EU so far as it is relevant to any matter before the court or tribunal' (European Union (Withdrawal) Act, 2018 s6(2)). Also, the Court of Appeal decision in HMRC v Perfect [2022] EWCA Civ 330, which is an excise duty case but more widely applicable, confirmed that decisions from any referrals to the ECJ made before 31 December 2020 remain binding on the UK even if the decision is issued after that date.In addition to this general change, there have been some more specific changes, for example the changes to the VAT (Specified Supplies) Order 1999, which now treats supplies to persons in the EU in the same way as supplies to persons outside the EU and some changes to the status of EU pension funds.A further change has been to the status of Cost Sharing Groups, an arrangement that allows persons who carry on certain activities to form a group to share costs without creating sticking VAT. As Cost Sharing groups are no longer available to the financial services and insurance sectors, the chapter and appendix covering these have been removed from this edition. Appendices include: contracts of insurance; Lloyd's VAT arrangements; HMRC ABI partial exemption guidance for the insurance sector; TOGC legal extracts; and the VAT territory of the EU.Finance directors and finance controllers in the financial services and insurance sectors and at those who advise these sectors should all find the book helpful.
