Conference on VAT Grouping and Cost-Sharing – a Critical and Constructive Perspective

Join us in the discussion on the current rules on VAT grouping and the cost-sharing VAT exemption in a critical and constructive academic setting. While the focus will be on the harmonized European VAT, lessons from other juridictions, namely Norway and the so-called «Modern VAT systems», Australia and New Zealand will be taken into consideration. At the conference numerous existing issues and problems with the two sets of rules are to be pointed out and also various measures to solve or counteract these problems are to be discussed among some of the most renowned professors and experts in VAT law in the world.

Prof. Karina Kim Egholm Elgaard, Prof. Joachim Englisch, Prof. Rita de la Feria, Director Karl-Heinz Haydl, Head of VAT, Acc. and Auditing Kristian Koktvedgaard, Prof. Eleonor Kristoffersson, Partner Ine Lejeune, Prof. Peter Melz, Assoc.
