Yes, I address more than one person with this newsletter, but here’s the absolute magic trick (the secret behind the curtain):
- People who don’t belong here unsubscribe and find where they belong.
- People who do belong here lurk for a VERY long time usually before they dare to hit reply and see if I’ll write back (I almost always do, and usually ridiculously fast).
- People who do belong here learn really quickly that I don’t want your money as much as I want your time and attention and connection.
- People who do belong here learn really quickly that if they do spend money with me, I work very hard to deliver value. [Chris Brogan]
Philosophy behind the GITM initiative – Richard H. Cornelisse
The objective of the GITM initiative is to set out and discuss the ‘Why’, ‘What’, and ‘How’ of managing an effective indirect tax function.
Impact of the increase of VAT rates globally: the greater the amount of tax in the system, the greater the tax risk. VAT errors could – as it is a transactional tax – negatively impact profit margin and shareholder’s value.
Besides the ‘Why’ it is important to know what needs to be managed within an organization. To support change of roles and responsibilities – e.g. governance and mandate – involvement of senior management is essential.
Change management is an important topic in various sections. How to realize sponsorship and make a difference? An overview of approaches, methodologies and best practice tools are included.
