VAT Memo Newsletter Issue 1 (October 2009)

PDF printer friendly version

Welcome to the first newsletter for the 2009-2010 edition of VAT Memo.

The introduction of the new rules for the place of supply of services (known as the ‘VAT Package’) on 1 January 2010 is arguably one of the most significant changes to the VAT regime in recent years. It will mean substantial changes to the business records and processes for many businesses.

The new year will also see the reintroduction of VAT at 17.5%, and in this issue we outline some of the practical issues facing businesses on the reversion to the old rate.

We have prepared this newsletter to provide you with a comprehensive analysis of the changes in one document. We believe you will find this particular newsletter useful and informative in advising you about the reforms, and welcome any comments you may have as to how we can improve our service. We look forward to receiving your emails at flm@flmemo.co.uk.
