Power of attornew for VAT refund in 2010 ..

[bruno]

Good morning,


The power of attorney given to a tax agent for VAT refund purposes was up to now a paper document, sometimes legalized. What will happen in 2010 where the whole process is made electronically ???

Kind regards.

Dear Bruno,

You are right, there is a huge change in the 8th EEC directive recovery scheme as from 01.01.2010.

The answer to your question is - according to information already in hand but not published by the 27 E.U. countries :

No legalised PoA will be required as long as the reimbursement of the VAT is made on the claimant account.
