On 24th February 2024, Tax Committee led by Dr. Antoine Fontaine, Co-Chair of Committee met to discuss several tax related issues for the second time of the year. Here are the key takeaways:
Tax-related issues: To promote fairness and efficiency within the taxation system, our committee has been diligently working on drafting new white book recommendations on six (6) issues; (1) Extension of former tax liability; (2) Simplification of VAT refund system; (3) Implement a system that promptly notifies taxpayers of any irregularities in VAT system; (4) Right to make a mistake in tax matter; (5) Allow taxpayers the benefit of the doubt in instances where they demonstrate good faith and lastly (6) Publication of the decision/interpretation/ruling of the GDT on specific tax provision.
Tax Newsletter Updates: In an effort to enhance engagement and knowledge sharing about the tax latest update or regulation, our committee members have devised a rotational system wherein each committee member will take turns providing a tax-related update within the EuroCham Newsletter.
