Brussels, 7/04/2010 (Agence Europe) - On 6 April 2010, the European Commission unveiled two draft decisions on exemptions from the value-added tax (VAT) directive 2006/112/EC. The decisions cover the building of a bridge between Germany and Luxembourg, where the two countries agree that work shall be considered as being carried out solely in Luxembourg to make VAT declarations easier (the two countries have different VAT rules); and the option for the Netherlands to continue until 31 December 2012 its system whereby clothing manufacturers (or the main company) are responsible for ensuring its sub-constrictors do not avoid paying VAT.
