- A new Tax and Duty Manual has been published regarding the VAT treatment of negotiation services in financial services
- The manual provides guidance on the conditions that must be met for a negotiation or agency service to exist
- The supply of agency or negotiation services in financial services specified in the VATCA 2010 is VAT exempt, subject to certain conditions
- Simply labeling a service as “agency” or “negotiation” is not enough for VAT exemption, it depends on the services provided and the relationship between parties
