Fernando Matesanz: "Communication is a fundamental aspect of the Madrid VAT Forum".

Fernando Matesanz, Managing Director of Spanish VAT Services, evaluates in this video the results of the Madrid VAT Forum 2020, the second edition of the VAT congress promoted by his office and organised, on this occasion, together with Thomson Reuters. Matesanz, very satisfied with the response of the speakers and the high rate of participation, highlights the importance that communication has had in the success of the event: "Without good communication, it would not reach so many people, it is a fundamental part of the Madrid VAT Forum"..

A congress focused, in the words of its promoter, "on a living tax, with high collection power... and very complicated" and in which the aim of informing about all the legislative news related to VAT was fulfilled, while other controversial issues of great importance for the experts were addressed.

The final point was the analysis of the most recent case law of the European Court of Justice.

Paper governments

I don't know about you, but I have the feeling of being trapped inside the series "La casa de papel", where the objective is to buy time to keep printing banknotes. Our paper governments dizzy us mercilessly to keep manufacturing votes. We should have known that the day the US elected president...

José Ramón Barros Cabalar -- The new Cold War: China, systemic rival of the West
