About the book:
VAT is characterized by a set of very technical rules that are difficult
to fathom for non-lawyers. However, economists are interested
in the functioning of the VAT system in their analysis of trade
transactions.
This book provides a clear overview of the VAT-system in the EU.
The focus lies on explaining the VAT consequences of economic
transactions. The right of deduction has been referred to as
the “cornerstone” of the VAT system, through the relationship between
input and output one can even speak about the heart of
the VAT system. The invoice which complies with the rules (possession
of a correct invoice) is the “ticket of admission” to the right
to deduct. The deduction system is meant to relieve the trader of
the burden of the VAT payable or paid in the course of all his economic
activities, provided these are subject to VAT.
The approach is very practical. The VAT system is explained by
means of examples, drawings and overview diagrams.
Authors have to make choices. By separating essentials from
side-issues we managed to write a book which contains the essence
of VAT.
