Tackling Vat Fraud: Thirteen Ways Forward, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Tackling Vat Fraud: Thirteen Ways Forward, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Faculty Scholarship
In a May 31, 2006 Communication to the Council, the European Parliament, and the European Economic and Social Committee, the European Commission indicated a need to develop a coordinated strategy to improve the fight against fiscal fraud [COM (2006) 254 final]. Although the Communication considers fiscal fraud broadly (VAT, excise duties and direct taxes) the most pressing need seems to be for a VAT strategy that will effectively deal with carousel fraud.
This paper considers thirteen proposals that deal with missing trader intra-community fraud (MTIC):
(1) Common VAT (origin system) (2) Vanistendael’s foreign tax offices proposal (3) CVAT (Compensating VAT) …
Qu'ils Mangent Des Contrats: Rethinking Justice In Eu Contract Law, Daniela Caruso
Qu'ils Mangent Des Contrats: Rethinking Justice In Eu Contract Law, Daniela Caruso
Faculty Scholarship
The concern for justice in the context of EU contract law was central to a scholarly initiative that led, in 2004, to the publication of a Social Justice Manifesto. The Manifesto had the explicit goal of steering the Commission’s harmonization agenda away from purely neoliberal goals and towards a socially conscious law of private exchange. Contract law would be designed at the EU level so as to become (or remain, depending on the baseline of each member state) palatable to weaker parties. Today, in the many parts of Europe devastated by rising poverty, dire unemployment rates, and collapsing social safety …
Leveling The International Playing Field With The Marketplace Fairness Act, Richard Thompson Ainsworth, Boryana Madzharova
Leveling The International Playing Field With The Marketplace Fairness Act, Richard Thompson Ainsworth, Boryana Madzharova
Faculty Scholarship
Quill v. North Dakota unbalanced the American retail market with its preference for out-of-state over in-state sellers. The preference under Quill is that sellers without physical presence in a state cannot be compelled to collect the sales tax. If the buyer does not voluntarily remit the complementary use tax, the purchase is effectively tax-free. As a result, Quill is seen as facilitating tax avoidance and driving business to sellers who have no in-state nexus, notably e-businesses. Revenue losses are estimated in excess of $10 billion per year.
The reach of the Quill decision is international. Preferred sellers can reside just …
The Baby And The Bath Water: The American Critique Of European Contract Law, Daniela Caruso
The Baby And The Bath Water: The American Critique Of European Contract Law, Daniela Caruso
Faculty Scholarship
This paper aims to contribute to a larger research agenda concerning the possibility of meaningful transatlantic dialogue about private-law reform. Both the European Union and the United States regulate private autonomy extensively. In spite of contextual similarities, there are several barriers making dialogue among legal scholars difficult. In particular, the conversation about social justice, an important element of private law reform within the European Union, is now quite marginal in American contract law scholarship. In U.S. legal academia, social justice is a matter for moral philosophers, development economists, and constitutionalists. Against this background, this paper takes a close look at …
Stopping Mtic -- With A 3rd Invoicing Directive, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Stopping Mtic -- With A 3rd Invoicing Directive, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Faculty Scholarship
A Third Invoicing Directive for the EU VAT seems to be a foregone conclusion. Corrections are needed in the Second Invoicing Directive. The hallmark of the next Directive will be its application of digital invoice technology. The Commission’s proposals will include adoption of tax-technology advances in invoice-control that are currently in use outside the EU. The next Invoicing Directive will require comprehensive e-invoicing, invoices that are digitally signed, and invoices that are fed into a system of relational databases that match transaction data across the Single Market. There will be real-time EU sales/purchases lists, and remote/real-time audit functionality.
This will …
The Transformation Of Europe In Us Legal Academia And Its Legacy In The Field Of Private Law, Daniela Caruso
The Transformation Of Europe In Us Legal Academia And Its Legacy In The Field Of Private Law, Daniela Caruso
Faculty Scholarship
The rise of EU law in US legal scholarship – from international lawyers' pet project to new fuel for comparative constitutional scholarship, and then on to self-contained subject matter with an independent raison d'être – is closely tied to the professional itinerary of Joseph Weiler. Under the auspices of Eric Stein and Peter Hay, EEC law developed as a discipline at the University of Michigan, and the collaboration between US legal academia and the European University Institute (EUI) grew in quality and intensity. The year 1984 saw the birth of a massive research project sponsored by the EUI and the …
