Thomson Reuters Report: Number of Global Indirect Tax Changes Increases 62 Percent in Q3
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New York, November 14, 2012 - Worldwide, there were 62 percent more indirect tax
changes in the third quarter of 2012 than there were during the same period in
2011, according to the latest ONESOURCE Indirect Tax rate report from Thomson
Reuters.
There were 525 tax code changes in Q3 2012, compared with 324 in Q3 2011. This
includes 146 U.S. changes in Q3 2012, compared with 202 in Q3 2011. In the rest
of the world, there were 379 international indirect tax code changes, up 310
percent from 122 in Q3 2011.
"We are seeing an increase in both the number of taxes and the complexity of tax
laws outside of the U.S., which is making it more difficult for global companies
to keep up with changing tax rates and regulations," said Carla Yrjanson, vice
president of tax research and content at Thomson Reuters. "As a result, many
global companies are putting best practices and technology in place to ensure
they achieve compliance in a cost effective manner."
The quarterly ONESOURCE Indirect Tax rate report summarizes changes in sales,
use and value added taxes (VAT) - providing a high-level look at information
that is incorporated monthly in detail in Thomson Reuters' ONESOURCE Indirect
Tax global software suite. Thomson Reuters' in-house tax experts monitor
changes in tax laws for over 175 countries. Highlights from the global Q3 2012
report released today include:
· Sixty-nine state, county, city and transit sales tax increases were
implemented in the U.S., compared with 97 in Q3 2011.
· There were 20 VAT increases globally, up from 14 in Q3 2011.
· In the U.S., the average state sales tax remained the same at 5.48 percent in
Q3 2012.
· Spain increased its standard and reduced VAT rates from 18 percent and 8
percent to 21 percent and 10 percent.
