MIM offers the  Diploma in Vat Compliance through The Institute of Indirect Taxation:.

The Diploma in VAT Compliance is being run once again by the Malta Institute of Management (MIM). VAT planning has become a major activity given the complexity and requirements that the Directives and legislation bring with them. Professionals and persons compiling the VAT form may not be fully aware of these planning opportunities and compliance issues. Many tax advisers focus primarily on the Direct Taxation but fail to plan the VAT aspect in the most efficient manner. The Diploma in VAT compliance is a tool to understand better the VAT legislation and to ensure better planning. 

For more information one can contact MIM at education@maltamanagement.com or 21453097.

Objective:

These seminars aims to provide an overview of the case law of the European Court of Justice in the field of direct taxation. Under Community law, direct taxation falls within the competence of EU Member States. As a result, Community legislative action in this field is scarce. Despite this ‘legislative vacuum’, the European Court of Justice has played a pivotal role in forcing Member States to exercise their fiscal competence in accordance with Community law.

The Court has been instrumental in interpreting and applying several general (non-tax specific) provisions of the EC Treaty in the direct tax context. In these seminars, we will look at these general provisions. We will examine some of the themes derived from the case law and how they affect Member States’ tax laws. The seminars will concentrate mainly in areas affecting multinational companies.
The following themes will be examined in depth:

• The role and methodology of the ECJ in direct tax law
• Non-discrimination and fundamental freedoms
• Neutrality of legal form
• Deductibility of expenses/losses etc.
• Emigration/Exit taxes
• Controlled Foreign Corporations
• Thin Capitalisation/Restrictions on Interest Deductibility
• Group Losses
• Dividend taxation (Outbound and Inbound)
• Double Taxation Conventions and Community Law
• Non-EU countries and Community Law
• State aids
• Miscellaneous and latest developments

These seminars will offer the possibility to understand how Member States’ fiscal powers have been affected by Community law. It will enable the participants to assess which areas of their own national tax legislation may need to be amended in order to comply with the Court’s case law.

Participants’ Profile: The course will be extremely useful to accountants, lawyers and revenue officials amongst other

Duration: 1.5 days

Venue: :Corinthia St George’s Bay St.Julians

This precept is particularly relevant in the field of HR. In fact, this is a unique time for HR as we lead in unprecedented times. Business and organizational change is being driven by slower growth economies and changing talent needs.  In addition to economic pressures, we are dealing with all time high unemployment, unknowns in the government’s role in business, and enormous budget issues in both private and public sectors. The prevalent question posed is; “What’s NEXT in HR Strategy?” In this light the MIM as part of its conferences and events programme will on the 10th June be spearheading, “What’s Next? The MIM Human Resources Forum, 2010” at the InterContinental (ST GEORGE’S BAY • MALTA, STJ 02 • MALTA) where experts from different professional fields will come together to discuss the prevalent issues in the field.

The forum will kick start with an HR analysis from a domestic perspective that will be addressed by Mr. Joe F.X. Zahra and will be followed by three panel discussions of which one will address “Maximising Women’s Workforce Participation”, another will address “Organising For Learning” and the final panel shall address “Organising For Motivation”. The conference shall also include a corporate story telling where a leading international company shall share its experience with participants on its policy towards HR in the light of all exterior challenges. Special guests are Professor Meredith Belbin (http://www.belbin.com/), the father of team roles and team role theory, and Professor John Adair (http://www.johnadair.co.uk/), one of the world’s leading authorities on leadership and leadership development.

With these pressures in mind, this business breakfast seminar aims to present a forum for discussion to review, from various perspectives, the role of an ever changing public sector in the face of new economic challenges.
