The session will take the format of an interactive discussion / case-study analysis, which will give participants the opportunity to discuss practical issues and the interpretation of the provisions of the law by reference to legislation, guidelines and relevant case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union.This Master Class comprises 3 CPE hours and is part of the MIT Advanced Course on VAT – an advanced-level, interactive course consisting of 6 sessions, each focusing on a specific sector.
