COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 143/2008
of 12 February 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 1798/2003 as regards the introduction of administrative cooperation and the exchange of information concerning the rules relating to the place of supply of services, the special schemes and the refund procedure for value added tax
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 93 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
The amendments introduced with regard to the place of supply of services by Council Directive 2008/8/EC of 12 February 2008 amending Directive 2006/112/EC as regards the place of supply of services (3) mean that services to taxable persons are supplied principally where the recipient is established. Where the supplier and the recipient of the services are established in different Member States, the reverse charge mechanism will be applicable more frequently than hitherto. |
(2) |
To ensure the proper application of value added tax (VAT) on services which are subject to the reverse charge mechanism, the data collected by the Member State of the supplier should be communicated to the Member State where the recipient is established. Council Regulation (EC) No 1798/2003 of 7 October 2003 on administrative cooperation in the field of value added tax (4) should provide for such communication. |
(3) |
Directive 2008/8/EC also extends the scope of the special scheme for electronic services supplied by taxable persons not established within the Community. |
(4) |
Council Directive 2008/9/EC of 12 February 2008 laying down detailed rules for the refund of value added tax, provided for in Directive 2006/112/EC, to taxable persons not established in the Member State of refund but in another Member State (5) simplifies the refund procedure for VAT in a Member State in which the taxable person concerned is not identified for VAT purposes. |
(5) |
The extension of the scope of the special scheme and the amendments to the refund procedure for taxable persons not established in the Member State of refund mean that the Member States concerned will need to exchange considerably more information. The required exchange of information should not make any excessive administrative demands on the Member State concerned. This exchange of information should thus take place electronically under existing systems for exchanging information. |
(6) |
Regulation (EC) No 1798/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
From 1 January 2010, Regulation (EC) No 1798/2003 is hereby amended as follows:
1. |
in Article 1(1), the fourth subparagraph shall be replaced by the following: ‘For the period provided for in Article 357 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (6), it also lays down rules and procedures for the exchange by electronic means of value added tax information on services supplied electronically in accordance with the special scheme provided for in Chapter 6 of Title XII of that Directive and also for any subsequent exchange of information and, as far as services covered by that special scheme are concerned, for the transfer of money between Member States' competent authorities. |
2. |
in Article 2, points 8 to 11 shall be replaced by the following:
