Tax is rarely out of the news these days, with the focus primarily on direct taxes. Away from the headlines for the most part, the world of indirect taxes has however been steadily evolving and growing in importance over the last two decades. Global trends that are changing the way taxes are levied such as how indirect tax applies to the digital economy, are similarly mirrored in Asia Pacific. Considering that Asia Pacific comprises countries with different economic, regulatory as well as tax environments, managing the effects of indirect taxes on the business and planning your indirect tax strategy to address the challenges, requires an appreciation of the local country rules and understanding of what changes are coming your way. PricewaterhouseCoopers’ (PwC) global network of over 2000 indirect tax experts across more than 150 countries worldwide, is organised to meet your international business needs and help solve your indirect tax challenges. Our Indirect Tax Network maintains a strong client focus and draws on PwC’s broad array of indirect tax expertise to offer you a global network, local expertise and individual service. This Guide to VAT/GST in Asia Pacific 2019 is a demonstration of the collective strengths and knowledge of the Network. I hope you will find the guide useful and an essential reference in your tax library. Jo Bello Global Indirect Taxes Network Leader PwC UK May 2019 PwC Asia Pacific VAT/GST Guide 2019 3 Preface PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Indirect Taxes Network in Asia Pacific is pleased to present its latest edition of the Guide to VAT/GST in Asia Pacific 2019. This guide is a summary of the VAT/ GST rules across 17 countries in the region. Reflective of one of the key global trends in indirect tax, we have included a new section on how indirect taxes apply to the digital economy in each country chapter. With this being an evolving area for indirect tax, we also recommend that you reach out to your usual PwC contacts or the country contacts in the chapters for more up to date information. Amongst the various updates from the earlier edition, the 2019 guide covers the GST regime in India which came into effect from 1 July 2017 to replace a number of other indirect taxes, and the Sales and Service Tax regime implemented in Malaysia from 1 September 2018 which replaced the GST system. We are also pleased to include Sri Lanka in this 2019 edition. We would like to thank all 17 countries who contributed to this guide, with special thanks to Soo How Koh and Rushan Lee from the PwC Singapore team, the driving force behind this significant project. We hope our guide will be helpful in the navigation of your indirect tax obligations in this region.

Code Ann. § 14- 14-904. The 2001 Legislature amended Ark. Code Ann. § 14-14-904, allowing the Quorum Court to correct millage levies in cases where an incorrect levy was due to clerical errors and/or the failure of the taxing entity to report the correct millage. The correction is effected by a county court order. In this manual, the millage rates have equalized for all taxing units and, therefore, are the same for both real estate and personal property. The breakdown of this sample tax settlement into real, personal, and utility taxes has a dual purpose: (1) to provide a mechanism to identify and isolate possible errors by type of tax and (2) to recognize those counties where the real and personal tax rates have not yet equalized.

  • How Australia Got a VAT (C) Tax Analysts 2011
    How Australia Got a VAT (C) Tax Analysts 2011. All rights reserved. does not claim copyright in any public domain or third party content. By Susan C. Morse Susan C. Morse is an associate professor at the University of California Hastings College of the Law. This project was supported by a Hackworth Grant from the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University. Many thanks to Neil Warren and Richard Eccleston for helpful discussion and review; to participants in the April 2010 Northern California Tax Roundtable and to Chris Evans, Kathryn James, Rick Krever, and Dale Pinto for useful comments and references; and to Erin Phillips and Gadi Zohar for able research assistance. Australians, like Canadians and New Zealanders, call their VAT a goods and services tax, or GST, but their GST fits the VAT mold: it is a credit-invoice method, destination-based consump- tion tax with fairly limited tax base exclusions.1 Although all OECD countries aside from the United States have value-added taxes, external pressures like those resulting from preconditions for European Union membership2 or for financial support from organizations such as the World Bank or International Monetary Fund3 have played a role in many countries’ VAT enactment 1See Liam Ebrill, Michael Keen, Jean-Paul Bodin & Victoria Summers, The Modern VAT 2 (2001) (defining a VAT). This paper uses the term tax base ‘‘exclusion’’ to mean ‘‘a situation in which the rate of tax applied to sales is zero, though credit is still given for taxes paid on inputs’’ which is called ‘‘GST-free’’ in Australia and ‘‘zero-rated’’ elsewhere.

  • Regulation & Compliance Road Tax – Vehicle Excise Duty Fact Sheet – October 2018
    Regulation & Compliance Road Tax – Vehicle Excise Duty Fact Sheet – October 2018 Background The majority of vehicles driven on UK roads have to pay Vehicle Excise Duty (VED, also know as road fund licence). This page provides guidance to members on the current rates, how to pay and obtain refunds. How is VED calculated for cars? The vehicle excise duty is calculated based on the CO2 emissions of the car for the first year of registration and the list price of the car in years 2 to 7. If the list price of the car is over £40,000 a more expensive rate of VED is payable in years 2 to 7. The list price includes the price of the vehicle and any non-standard accessory which is attached to the vehicle when it is first registered. This includes: • Manufacturers Recommended Retail Price • The price of any non-standard option – fitted by the manufacturer • VAT • Electric cars – if the battery is leased then the cost of the battery constitutes parts of the list price • Delivery charges including pre delivery inspection charges It does not include: • Warranty / insurance and service packages etc • Any non-standard accessory – fitted by the dealer • Modifications such as ‘police packs’, ambulance / fire engine modifications • Modifications for disabled drivers The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide general guidance and information only. Although every effort is made to ensure that the content is accurate, the BVRLA cannot accept any liability whatsoever for any inaccuracy contained within it, nor for any damage or loss, direct or indirect, which may be suffered as a result of any reliance placed upon the information provided, whether arising in contract, tort or in any other way.

The Government’s Infrastructure Audit clearly outlines the need for ongoing infrastructure investment that will allow new economic and social opportunities to be realised. Future funding constraints therefore present a core challenge to realising these opportunities and this Tax White Paper is an opportunity to outline the required program of reform. Existing institutional arrangements, especially in the transport sector, do not provide sufficient funding to address future infrastructure needs1. The combined expenditure of the public and private sectors on infrastructure will need to be expanded, all at a time when spending by governments is being constrained by other legitimate competing demands (notably health services and welfare).

  • 302746 ICE Country Guide
    International Core of Excellence 2018 ICE Essentials Foreword Local insight into key foreign jurisdictions—International Core of Excellence The impact of the U.S. tax reform will be felt not only in the U.S. but around the world. While it likely will take some time for stakeholders to familiarize themselves fully with the new rules and evaluate their implications and consequences, U.S. businesses soon will have to make real- world decisions that will affect their foreign operations: decisions regarding cash repatriation, adjustments to ownership structures for foreign investments, acquisition financing where multiple jurisdictions are involved, organization of supply chain activities, etc. When that time comes, the focus will no longer be solely on the new U.S. rules. Companies will be looking for practical solutions that best serve the interest of their businesses and those solutions will have to accommodate non-U.S. tax factors—for example, it is important to be aware that steps taken to limit a tax cost in the U.S. may eventuate in a higher tax burden outside the U.S. In this respect, one thing has not changed: U.S. companies will still need to integrate non-U.S. tax considerations into their decision-making. Now more than ever, they will need reliable and timely information—as well as actionable insights—on tax policy, legislation and practices affecting their foreign operations if they are to maintain a competitive edge. We are committed to helping you and your organization navigate the opportunities and challenges of a rapidly evolving global tax environment. The foreign country specialists in the International Core of Excellence (ICE) team have the technical and practical experience to help you identify and address the impact of foreign tax rules on U.S.

  • 5.1 Vehicle Costs This Chapter Examines Direct Financial Costs of Vehicle Use
    Transportation Cost and Benefit Analysis – Vehicle Costs Victoria Transport Policy Institute (www.vtpi.org) 5.1 Vehicle Costs This chapter examines direct financial costs of vehicle use. These are divided into fixed costs, which are unaffected by mileage, and variable costs, which increase with mileage. This indicates the savings from transportation improvements that allow consumers to reduce their vehicle ownership and use. Definitions Vehicle Costs include various costs to own and use vehicles, and incremental equipment costs for telework. These indicate the savings that result when vehicle ownership and use are reduced. These costs are divided into fixed (also called ownership) and variable (also called operating, marginal or incremental) costs, as indicated below. Variable costs increase with vehicle mileage, fixed costs do not. Fixed Costs Variable Costs Vehicle purchase or lease Maintenance and repair Insurance Fuel, fuel taxes and oil Registration and vehicle taxes Paid parking and tolls Some costs that are considered fixed are actually partly variable. Depreciation is partly variable because increased mileage requires increased vehicle repairs and replacement, and reduces vehicle resale value. Used vehicle price guides (www.edmunds.com and www.kbb.com) indicate that mileage-related depreciation typically averages 5-15¢ per mile, about as much as vehicle operating costs. Most leased vehicles have additional charges averaging about 10¢ per mile for mileage over a certain annual mileage (typically 15,000 miles). Increased driving also increases the risk of additional user costs from crashes, traffic and parking citations. Mileage-Based Depreciation Example (by Art Ludwig, www.oasisdesign.net) It is significantly more expensive to drive your car, and you save much more when you reduce your vehicle mileage, than indicated by the American Automobile Association’s widely reproduced car cost estimates (www.aaa-calif.com/members/corpinfo/costbrch.asp).
