On March 7, 2012, TEI submitted a letter to the European Commission discussing concerns with recent German VAT legislation changing the substantiation requirements for zero-rating of intra-community supplies of goods originating in Germany.
This letter was prepared under the aegis of TEI's European Indirect Tax Committee, whose chair is Siegert Slagman of Phillip Morris International. Contributing substantially to the development of TEI's comments was Karl-Heinz Haydl of General Electric Company. Daniel B. De Jong, TEI Tax Counsel, serves as legal staff liaison to the European Indirect Tax Committee and coordinated the preparation of TEI's letter.
