Book Synopsis Insurance Distribution Directive by : Pierpaolo Marano
Download or read book Insurance Distribution Directive written by Pierpaolo Marano and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access volume of the AIDA Europe Research Series on Insurance Law and Regulation offers the first comprehensive legal and regulatory analysis of the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD). The IDD came into force on 1 October 2018 and regulates the distribution of insurance products in the EU. The book examines the main changes accompanying the IDD and analyses its impact on insurance distributors, i.e., insurance intermediaries and insurance undertakings, as well as the market. Drawing on interrelations between the rules of the Directive and other fields that are relevant to the distribution of insurance products, it explores various topics related to the interpretation of the IDD - e.g. the harmonization achieved under it; its role as a benchmark for national legislators; and its interplay with other regulations and sciences - while also providing an empirical analysis of the standardised pre-contractual information document. Accordingly, the book offers a wealth of valuable insights for academics, regulators, practitioners and students who are interested in issues concerning insurance distribution.--

Book Synopsis Intermediation of Insurance and Financial Services in European VAT by : Claus Bohn Jespersen
Download or read book Intermediation of Insurance and Financial Services in European VAT written by Claus Bohn Jespersen and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current European VAT legislation encompassing insurance and financial services, including intermediation thereof, dates back to the adoption of the Sixth VAT Directive in 1977. The definitions do not, however, encompass the current complexity of insurance and financial transactions. This has resulted in considerable confusion for fiscal authorities and for businesses when deciding upon the application of the VAT exemption. As the correct VAT treatment has a significant economic impact on businesses, a great number of cases have been referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union. This is also the reason why the European Commission presented its proposal for the future treatment of insurance and financial services, including intermediation thereof, in November 2007. The political process has not yet been finalised and if the Commission's proposal is agreed upon, the question of understanding the definitions still exists. This book deals with the exemption for intermediation of insurance and financial services within European VAT. This implies analysing the methods of interpretation applied by the Court of Justice of the European Union when interpreting the provisions regarding insurance and financial services. Furthermore, the current definitions for intermediation of insurance and financial services as provided for in the VAT Directive are analysed and conclusions are made in order to define a single concept of intermediation. These analyses are followed by various practical scenarios from case law of the Member States concerning intermediation of insurance and financial services. Finally, comments based on the analyses carried out are given on the European Commission's proposal for amending the VAT Directive and the accompanying Regulation regarding intermediation of insurance and financial services.

Book Synopsis Development of Insurance in Mozambique by : Israel Muchena
Download or read book Development of Insurance in Mozambique written by Israel Muchena and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By its nature, insurance is intended to provide financial protection for basic human needs such as shelter, means of self-sustenance, and well-being. You would expect that most, if not all, people would be covered by it in one form or another. Unfortunately, that is not the case for most people in Mozambique and many other low-income countries. In Development of Insurance in Mozambique, Israel Muchena answers questions such as: Why are those who need financial protection the most so often left uncovered? What should key stakeholders in the insurance sector be doing to raise awareness and to promote access of people that need financial protection the most? How do emerging concepts such as micro-insurance, weather index insurance, and digital marketing work? Muchena also examines the history of insurance, beginning with its ancient origins among traders in China, to written rules in ancient Iranian kingdoms, followed by the development of insurance through guilds in Mesopotamia and early markets in Europe. Thereafter, he leads readers up to the present day of how insurance is handled in Africa, including Mozambique.

Book Synopsis Fundamentals of EU VAT Law by : Ad van Doesum
Download or read book Fundamentals of EU VAT Law written by Ad van Doesum and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-07-21 with total page 723 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Value added tax (VAT) is responsible for generating approximately €903 billion per year in tax revenues across the European Union – revenues that play a huge role in budgetary policymaking in the Member States. This extremely useful book provides not only a thorough description of the current state of EU VAT law, but also a detailed explanation of the system’s rationale and its legislative provisions. It puts the elements of the system in perspective and shows how they are linked to each other. The focus lies on the rules which can be deduced from the sources of EU VAT law and on their application in practice. The systematic presentation covers such issues and topics as the following: • sources of EU VAT law, including principles derived from CJEU case law; • principles underlying the EU VAT system; • relations among the layers of VAT law – primary and secondary EU law, national law; • how to apply the VAT legislation and case law; • allocation of taxing rights (place of supply rules); • invoicing requirements and other administrative obligations; • exemptions, VAT rates and the taxable amount; • the right of deduction of input VAT; • intra-Community transactions, importation and exportation; • immovable property; and • how far a national court must and can go in interpreting national provisions in the light of the VAT Directive and the principles underlying the VAT system. The book follows the structure of the VAT Directive/VAT determination scheme, with additional topical chapters on immovable property, intra-Community transactions, and importation and exportation of goods. With its detailed attention to the meaning and interpretation of each legislative provision and court ruling, this book serves as an incomparable guide for practitioners. Its emphasis on the rationale and systematics of the EU VAT system make it an indispensable reference for all tax law professionals and researchers.

This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Value added tax (VAT) is often considered the most important development in tax of the past century. Although generally successful – it can account for a large proportion of state revenue – it has spawned its own set of complex problems that require a corresponding set of legal skills to resolve. This book, by systematically drawing out the rules from a thorough analysis of the VAT Directive and as good as every VAT case ever decided by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) (850 in all), is the ideal day-to-day guide to European VAT law. The rules – and their applications – for such VAT matters as the following are clearly described with examples: distinction between supplies of goods and services for VAT purposes; bundled supplies; intra-Community acquisitions; when tax liability starts and ends; place of supply rules and their exceptions; exemptions in the real estate, finance, and insurance sectors; import and export exemptions; right to deduct VAT; abuse of rights; the problem of incorrect invoices; refund of VAT; and special schemes. An extensive keyword register facilitates navigating the book. Developed from the author’s daily practice as a tax counsel, this book will be of immeasurable value to tax consultants, lawyers, in-house counsel, tax authority officials, and taxation academics, not only in Europe but beyond.

Book Synopsis Denmark by : International Monetary Fund. Monetary and Capital Markets Department
Download or read book Denmark written by International Monetary Fund. Monetary and Capital Markets Department and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses findings of the Detailed Assessment of Observance of the Insurance Core Principles on Denmark. Insurance regulation in Denmark has a good level of compliance with the Insurance Core Principles. A particular strength of the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority’s approach is its close focus on key risks in the sector and its readiness to require action by companies to address vulnerabilities. Regular, even daily monitoring of market risk sensitivities is carried out on life insurers’ balance sheets. In nonlife insurance, regular testing of a number of key performance ratios helps to highlight potential weaknesses and to support early intervention. There is comprehensive oversight of the reinsurance programs of the nonlife companies in particular.
Book Synopsis The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) by : Leslie Alan Glick
Download or read book The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) written by Leslie Alan Glick and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 1, 2020, after much expectation and delay, the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)—a greatly revised version of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) of 1994—came into effect. This timely book by the author of the preeminent guide to NAFTA and an active participant and private sector advocate in the USMCA negotiation and legislative process provides a chapter-by-chapter analysis of the new agreement, clearly describing what has changed from the earlier agreement and what is new. After a concise but expertly calibrated summary of NAFTA, the author proceeds systematically through a practical analysis of each USMCA provision, emphasizing such crucial new elements as the following: new rules on intellectual property rights; stricter rules of origin within the automotive industry; major reforms in Mexican labor laws and their enforceability; opening of Canada’s agricultural and dairy sector to more U.S. competition; entirely new chapter on digital trade; new dispute mechanisms; requirement of an increased minimum wage in auto plants; and a new chapter on environmental standards. Changes in such important aspects of trade as textiles and apparel, ownership of hydrocarbons, cross-border trade in services, and anticorruption measures are also fully described. The USMCA is a response to a United States initiative to renegotiate NAFTA. As a key regional trade agreement with vast global ramifications, familiarity with its content and rules is essential for all business, legal, policymaking, and academic parties concerned with international trade. This useful practical guide will be a welcome addition to private and corporate libraries, including corporate counsel, customs brokers, freight forwarders, logistics and import-export managers, government officials, and academics who need a thorough understanding of the new agreement.
Book Synopsis Scotland analysis by : Great Britain: H.M. Treasury
Download or read book Scotland analysis written by Great Britain: H.M. Treasury and published by Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second Scotland analysis paper, Currency and monetary policy, explained that the currency and macroeconomic framework that operates across the UK would not be able to continue between two separate states. In the event of a vote for independence, there would be further consequences for the financial sector and for its customers which are analysed in the current paper. The most profound implication is that independence would create two separate financial jurisdictions: the continuing UK and a new, independent Scotland, which would require its own legal and regulatory framework. The competitiveness of Scotland's financial sector is aided by its location within the UK. Industry and international bodies view the UK as a strong tax and regulatory regime, building customers' and partner organisations' trust in UK financial firms. Being part of the UK helps support the Scottish financial services sector, which generates employment not just in financial services firms, but in the professional and other services that support the sector. Location in a larger economy also helps to reduce firms' cost of borrowing because markets perceive these firms as less of a risk. If Scotland became independent, this position would be called into question: The Scottish banking sector would be exceptionally large compared to the size of an independent Scotland's economy, making it more vulnerable to financial shocks than it is as part of the larger UK. There could be questions about an independent Scotland's ability to stabilise its banking system in the event of a future financial crisis
