VAT MOSS – TBES 2015

VAT MOSS – TBES 2015

New EU VAT rules came into effect on 1st January 2015 changing the place of supply in respect of all supply of telecommunications, broadcasting and e-services to consumers from the place where the supplier is located to the place where the consumer is located. From this date, EU and non-EU business will have to register and account for VAT in every Member State in which they supply such services to consumers. Suppliers should be aware of the rules and rates of the Member State in receipt of services to ensure the correct VAT treatment and can consult the EU web portal, developed by the EU Commission, which provides information on the VAT rules in all member states.
