Panel Discussion 1: A Spotlight on…The VAT in The Digital Age Package
The panellists discussed select aspects of the proposals and there the possible implications. How feasible is the timing under the new digital reporting requirements proposal? how will the proposed new definition of short-term accommodation impact the way property leasing is taxed? Do we agree with the proposed ‘facilitation’ service under the new rules for the platform economy? – were some of the aspects of the ViDA proposals that were discussed at the Forum.

During this session the panellists discussed some common uncertainties and practical difficulties encountered. Issues arising around correcting a VAT return, the Tax In Danger provision, refund of input tax and the content of a VAT return were some of the many practical aspects of VAT discussed.
