No Remarks

2/ VAT reglementation

Explanation of Mr Jorn Peyskens (Certifisc):

Syndical Organisations are not VAT liable when this is the only activity of the association.
Educational activities are also not VAT liable when this is the only activity.
Every other service provided should be VAT liable.

The BSCRS also offers other activities (Congress organisations with catering services, expositions etc)
That’s why Sobeveco/Bscrs should be a VAT liable company and consequently the membership and congress fees need to be VAT included.
Also, invoices to other organisations including AOB need to be made VAT included.
In the present case BSCRS has to make an invoice due to the profits of the OB congress : 7786,40 euro + VAT.

A taskforce consisting of 3 board members were asked to investigate the regulations that have to be followed (Application VAT identification number, price estimation accountants etc)

The following members will take care of this task:

Bernard Matthys, General Secretary
MJ Tassignon, Treasurer
Carina Koppen
