Internet Business: Commerce and Tax
 |
London Tax partner Julian Hickey has recently published "Internet Business: Commerce and Tax" together with Colin Kendon (Employee Incentives and Benefits Partner). The book is a practical guide to the taxation of internet business activities, and should be the first point of reference for all those involved with advising such businesses. It provides an up-to-date overview of the main tax issues.
This is the second edition of the well received e-commerce: law, business and tax planning. In the ten years which have passed since the first edition was published and the dotcom bubble burst, tax has been a constant issue for all internet based businesses and transactions. This book examines the direct tax and VAT issues relevant to all the important areas of internet business. |
Copies are available from www.jordanpublishing.co.uk
For more information please contact Julian Hickey, Mat Oliver or Colin Kendon.
The International Tax Partners of Bird & Bird invite you to meet with them and celebrate the launch of Julian Hickey and Colin Kendon's book "Internet Business Commerce and Tax" on 20th June 2012. Please contact Rebekah Gogarty if you would like to attend this event.
