Pre-publication offer on VAT law book

The Malta Institute of Management is to publish the second book on tax-related matters, Principles of Maltese VAT Law, co-authored and edited by Robert Attard and leading tax specialists.

The need of a publication on principles of Maltese VAT law has long been felt by local practitioners. The book will also serve as a fundamental reference and text book for students studying value added taxation and related topics.

It will serve as the official text book for students pursing the Diploma in VAT Compliance Progamme organised and accredited by MIM and the Institite of Indirect Taxation (IIT-UK).

Prof. Pasquale Pistone has written the book's foreword, describing Dr Attard as "an international tax scholar, well known for his expertise in the judicial dimension of taxation and the protection of taxpayers' rights".

He states that this book "will open up a new dimension in the interpretation and application of VAT in Malta some 15 years after its introduction and five after this country joined the European Union".

The analysis of the VAT case law by the European Court of Justice combined with the rules that implement the EU VAT system into Maltese tax law will give Maltese users a better understsnding of how this system is applied.

There is a €75 pre-publication offer. For pre-orders, one may fill in the form at www.maltamanagement.com.
