On January 6, 2016 the text of the Memorandum of Understanding with respect to the Exchange of Information for Tax Matters as concluded between the Competent Authorities of the Netherlands and Georgia (Hereafter: the MoU) was published in the Dutch Staatscourant. The MoU was signed by the Dutch competent authorities on November 23, 2015 and by the Georgian competent authorities on December 2, 2015.

According to the publication the MoU already entered into force on December 2, 2015.

In December 2015 the European Commission released a new VAT eLearning programme. The course consists out of 12 modules. For being able to do the course the modules have to be downloaded/saved to the hard disk of the computer you want to do the course on. The modules are freely available for download.

I myself downloaded and did the first module of the programme. Now I have to admit that I am not a VAT expert, but to me the course seems very interesting and it seems to be a handy tool to get a basic understanding of the EU VAT-Directive. At the moment the programme is only available in the English language, but the European Commission states that in a later stage it will also be made available in other languages.

On January 4, 2015 the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) published the third edition of its e-Tax Guide on Transfer Pricing Guidelines.
