Against the veto of the Govenor, the application report of the Sales Tax was extended to digital products and codes – the cut-off date was already 14 March 2021.
The definition of a retail sale now also includes digital products on which the end user is granted a right of use that is permanent, temporary or conditional on regular payments. The same applies to the sale of digital codes with which an end user is granted access (also by way of streaming) to a digital product. The law provides for a more precise definition of the term “digital product”.
In brief
As businesses continue to grapple with the challenges related to COVID-19, many states are providing tax relief in the form of filing and payment deadline extensions.

I have never been to Detroit before but I have read quite a bit about its glorious past and the haunting present. And the city surprised me very much. What is visible especially at the airport is the fact that there are no taxis in this city but at the same time no public transport neither. Of course, in this automotive city almost everyone has a car. Read More »
In a recent decision issued for an online Bitcoin trading platform, the Belgian tax authorities have confirmed that the trading of Bitcoins and other virtual currencies is similar to the activity of an intermediary and should therefore fall under the exemption included in the Belgium VAT Code for “negotiation concerning deposits, current accounts, debts, cheques and other negotiable instruments but excluding debt collection” .

Do you sell services to consumers? Are they electronically supplied? Are your customers in the EU? Are you ready for the B2C 2015 VAT changes?
There are significant changes on the horizon for the VAT paid on electronically supplied services. Any business headquartered in any country selling broadcasting, telecommunications and electronically supplied services to EU retail customers will be affected by these changes. This includes businesses in the US, China and Australia.
The new legislation is effective from 1 January 2015. It will have the effect of changing the place of supply, and the country of taxation, of business to consumer (B2C) telecoms, broadcasting and ‘electronically supplied services’ from the country in which the supplier is established to the country in which the consumer is resident. One effect of this is that, rather than applying a single VAT rate in its country of establishment, affected businesses may be required to apply the local VAT rate in 27 different member states.
You’ll need to recognise that 2015 isn’t that far away. Planning ahead will be vital if your business is going to deal with the issues raised by these VAT changes. So, what are the main questions you should be asking?
We’re running a webcast on 19 September 2013, that looks at these questions in detail. You can join our panel of indirect tax specialists who’ll discuss the issues you’ll be facing in the lead up to the 2015 changes. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask the panel questions over our live feed to the studio.
We’ll be live from 11am (GMT) 19 September 2013.
The webcast will last approximately 30 minutes and you’ll have the opportunity to put your questions to our specialists during the webcast.
Speakers: Martin Blanche, PwC UK, Sophie Claessens, PwC Belgium, Joanna Denton, PwC Luxembourg, and Tom Corbett, PwC Ireland
