Course Materials

This teleconference will provide tax managers a review of a discrete list of the higher-complexity VAT issues for U.S. companies in common tax administration and business activities. The panel will discuss internal company matters and relationships with taxing authorities and explore possible responses for tax staff.

Description

No matter where in the world U.S. companies face value-added tax (VAT) compliance responsibilities as a buyer or seller, certain aspects of, or preparations for, VAT present difficult challenges and dictate a multi-country approach.

What adjustments are needed to the company accounting system to deal with VATs? How should U.S. companies deal with the potential for delayed VAT refunds? What about VAT issues with warranty services and drop shipments? How can other company departments be engaged to anticipate VAT problems?

Given the proliferation of VAT systems worldwide (not just in the European Union but also Canada, Mexico and China, to name a few), tax professionals need to take a comprehensive, global approach to solving the higher-level compliance and administrative issues that result for U.S. companies.

Listen as our panel of seasoned transactional tax advisors analyzes a discrete list of difficult problems facing U.S. companies in many industries that deal with VATs in other countries.
