United Kingdom VAT Filing Deadline is Approaching
The deadline for filing a VAT refund claim to the United Kingdom’s tax authorities for invoices dated from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 is fast approaching. Please contact our office no later than September 1, 2015, if interested in proceeding with a UK VAT refund. The filing preparation has to begin 3 months before the December VAT filing deadline because an IRS certificate has to be ordered, which can sometimes take up to 3 months to receive.

Alert! The German Tax Authorities are actively contacting North American companies
Several U.S. companies doing business within the EU, including Germany have indicated that they have been contacted by the German tax authorities. They are apparently attempting to catch any foreign company selling digital services (on-line games, music, cloud services, and other) to private people within the EU. These companies are often unaware that they are required to register for VAT and charge VAT to the private customers. The call from the German tax authorities might come as an unpleasant surprise since they demand that the company declares and pays in the VAT due from sales to Germany. If this is not done the North American company can expect back taxes and penalties. To find out if your company is required to register and charge VAT within the EU, please contact our VAT experts.
