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.
Benefits
The panel will address certain higher-level VAT issues that commonly arise with:- Warranty services, drop shipments, and delayed VAT refunds.
- Internal relationships with — and transparency to — company departments other than tax to support VAT compliance.
- Global expansion — streamlining company administration and accounting systems to accommodate world-wide VAT issues.
Following the speaker presentations, you'll have an opportunity to get answers to your specific questions during the interactive Q&A.
Upon completing this seminar, you will have a better appreciation for, and suggested approaches for dealing with, some important challenges commonly facing U.S. companies as they deal with VATs around the world.

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form of training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
