Wim Panis speaks at a seminar about Belgian VAT procedure

Articles - The proper value-added tax (VAT) treatment of vouchers in Belgium has been the subject of many debates and disputes over time. Are vouchers merely a means of payment or should they be assimilated to the underlying taxable transaction?

Short Reads - On 4 February 2019, the Dutch State Secretary of Finance sent a letter to the Dutch Parliament announcing transitional rules for Dutch taxes (other than customs legislation) if there will not be a Brexit withdrawal agreement (i.e. a no deal Brexit). The letter includes an outline of the transitional rules.

Short Reads - A Brexit without a deal, or with a deal that does not cover all relevant aspects, is still a potential scenario. We have highlighted a number of unexpected legal consequences of Brexit in such a no deal or incomplete deal scenario.

Conference - On January 28th and 29th, a delegation of Stibbe Benelux Tax Partners will be at the 8th IBA Finance & Capital Markets Tax Conference. Michael Molenaars and Diogo Duarte de Oliveira will speak at the event, which will also be attended by Henk Verstraete.
