What is the rate of VAT on cable TV in Luxembourg? You will have to know next year!

The rules of the place of supply of telecommunication, broadcasting and electronically provided services supplied to individuals will change substantially from 2015: in line with the amendment of the EU VAT Directive, VAT will be payable on these services in the state in which the recipient’s permanent address or place of stay is located. Considering the availability and mobility of these types of services, the service provider may easily incur tax liability in all of the 28 member states.

The Hervis affair: not over yet!

As any decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union concerning Hungary, the case of Hervis Sport- és Divatkereskedelmi Kft. (C-385/12) also received much attention, but this matter was not resolved with last week’s decision. The ball is on the Hungarian court again as it is now up to the Hungarian court to decide whether the special retail tax is actually detrimental to foreign company groups.

Global standardization of transfer pricing documentation rules

Since the initial introduction of transfer pricing documentation rules, there has been spectacular expansion in global intra-group trading and the number of states prescribing the preparation of transfer pricing documents has increased also. The sometimes large differences of the transfer pricing documentation rules of individual countries and the enhanced scrutiny of tax authorities in this regard, however, present a never before seen challenge for the multinational companies concerned.

The number of new businesses is low in Hungary but growing rapidly in emerging countries

Despite the global crisis, the number of businesses grew spectacularly in recent years in large emerging economies. While from 2007 to 2011 the number of active businesses increased by only slightly more than 3 percent in the most developed countries of the world, there was a 25 percent growth in this regard within the BRICS group of the largest emerging countries – the survey “Business Births and Deaths” of the international financial and tax consulting network RSM International reveals. News is even worse from a Hungarian perspective as we have the worst result even within the European league: in 2011, the number of active businesses exceeded that of 2007 by only 0.3 percent.

It is expected that the changes will impact both the current and deferred tax calculations with larger entities expected to be most affected.
