| | | | | | | by Judy Wickens, Union of International Associations, UIA VAT. Value Added Tax is of concern to all associations: when they pay it or reclaim it, if they are registered or exempt, it affects them all. Two recent changes have occurred which are a major upheaval, so international associations with any EU connections need to take them into account. One concerns the effect which the place where an event is held has on the tax rates and regulations governing payments for that event. The other, new in 2012, modifies the ground rules for the registration of associations in Belgium, where many are founded or operating for proximity to the European institutions.

| | | | | | | | | | | “Addressing important issues” |
Kalyan Banerjee, President of Rotary International You are just holding your 103rd Rotary International Convention from 6 to 9 May, at the IMPACT Arena in Bangkok. Why did you choose Thailand as destination? Thailand is a spectacular destination, truly the Land of a Thousand Smiles. Bangkok is a fantastic gateway to explore Southeast Asia and a wonderful experience on its own for a shorter trip. By participating in the Rotary International Convention, Rotary club members will gain a broader appreciation of Rotary’s global impact and strengthen their commitment to service.
