OECD Survey Invitation: VAT/GST Relief for Foreign Businesses

For input

We would like to draw your attention to a survey recently launched by OECD on VAT/GST Relief for Foreign Businesses to assess the scope and magnitude of costs of irrecoverable VAT/GST incurred by businesses in jurisdictions where they are not established.  This is a part of an ongoing OECD project, Measuring Total Business Taxes, to estimate total business taxes across countries by accounting for business taxes paid in addition to corporate income taxes, including VAT/GST.  

Further information on this survey is provided at the link below and members are kindly invited to respond to this consultation directly, before the stipulated deadline of 15 March 2016 :

All of the information provided will be kept strictly confidential and will only be used together with responses from other respondents to assess global trends and possible areas for improvement in the process of recovering foreign VAT. 

We thank you in advance for your contribution to the survey and rest at your disposal should you require any further information.
