Conceição Gamito is one of the guest speakers at the VAT Forum's 13th Annual Summit which will be taking place in Lisbon on the 25, 26 and 27 April. Conceição's presence as a guest speaker at the Forum follows the Tax specialist's presence as a workshop leader atthe VAT Forum's 12th International School on Indirect Taxation which took place last September in Antwerp.

Vieira de Almeida & Associados (VdA)'s managing asssociate will be lecturing on ""Spoiling your staff with retail vouchers - a way to keep your staff but lose VAT twice?" which regards the EU Court of Justice's decision C-40/09, better known as the "AstraZeneca" case which considered that "providing VAT added shopping vouchers to employees, by way of the latter renouncing for a certain amount in cash is a costly service".

The 13th Annual Conference addresses all VAT professionals working at a multinational environment whether responsible for the filling in of VAT declarations in any Member State or providing assistance to companies, foreign entities or multinational groups. Participants can meet and talk to VAT experts from different European countries and other people responsible for VAT in major companies.
