2016年9月29日，歐盟委員會(huì)稅務(wù)和關(guān)稅聯(lián)盟總干事確認(rèn)了ACCA（特許公認(rèn)會(huì)計(jì)師公會(huì)）作為歐盟增值稅專家組成員的任命。

在2016年10月1日開始的為期三年的任期內(nèi)，全球會(huì)計(jì)機(jī)構(gòu)將由ACCA稅務(wù)負(fù)責(zé)人Chas Roy-Chowdhury和稅務(wù)和商業(yè)法高級(jí)經(jīng)理Jason Piper代表。

Chas Roy-Chowdhury說：“我們非常榮幸被選入這個(gè)著名的專家組。 ACCA是向現(xiàn)代化增值稅制度邁進(jìn)的堅(jiān)定支持者，我們歡迎通過該行動(dòng)計(jì)劃。 “現(xiàn)狀”和“一切照常”不再是可持續(xù)的選擇。當(dāng)前的增值稅制度迫切需要改革和改進(jìn)，以應(yīng)對(duì)我們不斷發(fā)展的全球，數(shù)字和移動(dòng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的挑戰(zhàn)。

增值稅專家小組協(xié)助和建議歐盟委員會(huì)增值稅事宜。它由以個(gè)人身份任命的個(gè)人，具有增值稅領(lǐng)域必要的專業(yè)知識(shí)，代表企業(yè)和稅務(wù)從業(yè)者的組織，可以協(xié)助制定和實(shí)施增值稅政策。 2016年9月，增值稅專家小組通過了關(guān)于ACCA積極參與的關(guān)于確定增值稅制度工作的意見。

“新的最終增值稅制度需要更簡單，更好地利用數(shù)字技術(shù)的機(jī)會(huì)，并降低收入成本。它還需要考慮中小企業(yè)的特殊性和需求。我們贊揚(yáng)歐洲委員會(huì)的努力和堅(jiān)持不懈。然而，我們認(rèn)識(shí)到，這項(xiàng)任務(wù)不會(huì)是一個(gè)容易的任務(wù)，特別是安理會(huì)的一致性規(guī)則。我們現(xiàn)在期待通過我們積極參與專家組的工作，帶來我們的專業(yè)知識(shí)和對(duì)辯論作出貢獻(xiàn)，Chas Roy-Chowdhury得出結(jié)論。

增值稅專家組下次會(huì)議將于2016年10月17日星期一在布魯塞爾舉行。

On 29 September 2016, the Director-General for Taxation and Customs Union of the European Commission confirmed the appointment of ACCA (The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) as a member of the EU VAT Expert Group.

During its 3 year mandate starting on 1 October 2016, the global accountancy body will be represented by Chas Roy-Chowdhury, ACCA’s Head of Taxation, and as his alternate, Jason Piper, Senior Manager, Tax and Business Law.

Chas Roy-Chowdhury said 'We are very honoured to have been selected in this prestigious experts-Group. ACCA is a strong supporter of the move towards a modernised VAT system and we welcomed the adoption of the Action Plan. The “status quo” and “business as usual” are no longer sustainable options. The current VAT system urgently needs to be reformed and improved to address the challenges of our evolving global, digital and mobile economy.'

The VAT Expert Group assists and advises the European Commission on VAT matters. It is composed of individuals appointed in a personal capacity with the requisite expertise in the area of VAT, and of organisations representing businesses and tax practitioners which can assist in the development and implementation of VAT policies. In September 2016, the VAT Expert Group adopted an Opinion on the work on the definitive VAT regime to which ACCA actively contributed to.

'The new definitive VAT regime needs to simpler to better exploit the opportunities of digital technology and to reduce the costs of revenue collection. It also needs to bear in mind SME’s specificities and needs. We commend the efforts and the perseverance of the European Commission. We recognise however that the task will not be an easy one, especially with the unanimity rule in the Council. We now look forward to bringing our expertise and contributing to the debate through our active participation in the Expert Group' Chas Roy-Chowdhury concluded.

The next meeting of the VAT Expert Group will be held in Brussels on Monday, 17th October 2016.
