BARCELONA, Spain -- Under this premise, Salvador Trinxet Llorca began a presentation in which he sought to show his audience a view of the international VAT and the VAT recovery abroad as an element of tax savings, which support the export activity of almost any company, if the company do not carry out taxable transactions not subject to VAT in the country where they wanted to ask for a refund. Fundamental issues as the procedure to recover VAT in the EU (8 th VAT Directive, as amended in 2010) and in other countries such as Japan, Israel and Canada (13th VAT Directive), the European VAT package of 2010, tax representation for VAT purposes, VAT on B2C e-services to European consumers and the draft directive on services for VAT purposes were issued addressed at the event, held on 1 December 2009.

Although the main objective was to show companies of all areas of business experiences on the recovery of VAT, and the new system of "single window" to be established to that effect in the European Union, the presentation of Salvador Trinxet also addressed the principles of international VAT as VAT registration, identification for obtaining a VAT number, the issue of different the taxpayer for VAT purposes, the importance of Permanent Establishment according to the VAT legislation and the difficulties for European companies to compete in electronic commerce with other companies not established in the European Union.
