Understanding Superyacht & Business Jet Tax

by

Quaynote is delighted to introduce Understanding Superyacht & Business Jet Tax, the one-day international event in Brussels, Belgium on Tuesday, 17th October, 2023. The conference seeks to demystify complex rules, ownership structures, VAT – and much more – across multiple jurisdictions.

Presented by leading tax and customs specialists, Understanding Superyacht & Business Jet Tax is timed to coincide with the launch of 2 new groups set to influence regulators – the Superyachts & Business Aviation VAT Think Tank and an EU group of business aviation experts lead by the EBAA. What`s more, the conference`s location in the heart of EU policy-making will create the ideal platform for discussion of tax matters between regulators and the superyacht / business aviation industries.

Targeting charter & sales brokers, charterers, tax advisors, corporate service providers, lawyers, family offices and policy-makers, Understanding Superyacht & Business Jet Tax is produced by Quaynote Communications, event management, PR and marketing specialists in the yacht and private jet industries for 18 years.

Our speakers will shed light on some of the thorniest tax issues that anyone involved in owning, chartering, operating or managing a superyacht or business jet needs to grapple with. Key topics to be covered at the conference include:

*The EU Customs Code & VAT Directive: How it is implemented into national legislation

*Brexit: Current UK customs and VAT regulations

*Inward processing relief: EU vs UK new opportunities

*Commercial, private, corporate?: the best structure for your yacht or jet

* EU, US and non-EU Europe: VAT, charters, transactions and more across the jurisdictions

* Temporary Admission, Import options, Stamp duties, transfer tax, withholding tax, cross-border claims, FCE, ICE, etc.

Officially supported by both our Gold co-sponsors, Tax Marine and Richemont Delviso, Understanding Superyacht & Business Jet Tax will provide an influential, networking platform for all industry professionals concerned with understanding and improving international tax regimes.

Getting a smart education: Are virtual masterclasses the best way to learn?

by

The first gearshift he points to in the insurance market is the reduction in the number of underwriters offering yacht coverage. “This makes the job of the broker more challenging” notes Huens. Not only are there less underwriters to provide
“And how is education supposed to make me feel smarter? …Every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain.” So exclaimed cartoon anti-hero Homer Simpson, before he goes on to elaborate, “Remember when I took that home wine-making course, and I forgot how to drive?”

While it`s true – as many of us can testify – that as time goes on, we have the impression, like Homer, of forgetting more than we learn, the opportunities for acquiring new knowledge and skills have arguably never been greater. The internet and the virtual world, for all their sins, have opened-up a vast world of information and learning. And all of this available at the click of a button.

Continuous professional education is indeed a requirement for many lawyers, accountants and others, who are expected to undergo a certain number of hours training per year in order to carry on practising. Quaynote and other providers can offer attendees the opportunity to acquire their CPD (continuous professional development) or equivalent points via their participation at industry conferences.
