- Date: 10 June
- Time: 16:00 – 18:00 CET

Set to come into effect on 1 July 2021, these new rules have the purpose of strengthening the European internal market and ensure fair competition with non-European traders.
Join us for an interactive technical session, followed by a networking event on 10 June, and find out everything you need to know about the 2021 EU e-commerce VAT package.

Doing M&A in CEE: Tax traps and structuring opportunities
- Date: 15 June
- Time: 10:30 - 11:30 CET
Pursuing transactions in the fast-growing markets of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) present attractive prospects to investors However, it is important to understand that the acquisition and integration processes still respond to local tax specificities – even when the country in question is part of the European Union.
Mazars tax experts will guide you through the main M&A tax risks and opportunities in Hungary, Croatia, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Russia and Slovakia.
We will uncover how the main 'tax traps' that appear in due diligence processes are related to financial expenses deduction and the use of tax losses. These transactions can also benefit from local tax incentives that support investments and exist alongside tax exemptions.

Transfer Pricing: business restructuring webinar
- Date: 17 June
