| | | |Enumerations | | |

|Acquisition |An “import” from one European Union state to another is now | | | | |

| |known as an acquisition, reflecting the fact that there are | | | | |

| |no longer any national barriers within the Community. | | | | |

| | | | | | |

| |Instead of having to pay import VAT to achieve clearance of | | | | |

| |the goods at the point of entry into the Member State, the | | | | |

| |acquirer will account for VAT (acquisition tax) due on the | | | | |

| |acquisition of the goods as part of his normal VAT accounting| | | | |

| |(via his usual VAT return). The acquisition tax will | | | | |

| |therefore usually be paid and reclaimed on the same VAT | | | | |

| |return (some EU Member States require a one month delay | | | | |

| |between accounting for the acquisition tax and reclaiming | | | | |

| |it). This accounting process is known as the “postponed | | | | |

| |accounting” system. | | | | |

|Consumers Use Tax |A tax liability that is imposed on the storage, use, | |Tax Type | | |

| |consumption and sometimes distribution of property or | | | | |

| |services. Consumer use taxes typically arise when the seller| | | | |

| |that provides the goods or services is not registered to bill| | | | |

| |and collect the tax in a taxing jurisdiction. Use tax is | | | | |

| |complimentary to sales tax and is accrued (self-imposed) by a| | | | |

| |business. Consumers use tax applies to the following: | | | | |

| |1) Purchases from out-of-state vendors, which are not | | | | |

| |responsible for sales tax, for use within the state; | | | | |

| |2) Items removed from inventory for a business’s own use; | | | | |

| |month and the year) when an event takes place. | | | | |

|Deduction |An amount that may be subtracted from a gross amount to | | | | |

| |arrive at the taxable amount. Deductions are the total | | | | |

| |exempt and nontaxable sales. | | | | |

|Depreciation |An amount deducted from the value of personal property based | | | | |

| |on physical deterioration, functional obsolescence and | | | | |

| |economic obsolescence. | | | | |

|Direct Pay Permit |Purchasers holding Direct Pay permits do not pay any sales | | | | |

| |tax to their sellers. Rather, the permit holders assume the | | | | |

| |full responsibility for determining which of their purchases | | | | |

| |are taxable and which are exempt, and remit any tax that may | | | | |

| |be due directly to the state. Upon receiving a valid direct | | | | |

| |payment certificate, a seller is relieved of all | | | | |

| |responsibility for collecting tax from the permit holder. | | | | |

|Discount |A monetary amount that may be deducted from an amount owed. | | | | |

| |When timely filing a return and paying tax, some | | | | |

| |jurisdictions allow a deduction based on a percentage of the | | | | |

| |tax collected not to exceed a set amount in order to help | | | | |

| |cover the administrative expense associated with collecting | | | | |

| |and remitting the tax. This is typically referred to as a | | | | |

| |"vendor's discount," "collection allowance," or "vendor's | | | | |

| |compensation." | | | | |

|Dispatch |An “export” from one European Union Member State to another | | | | |

| |is now known as a dispatch. Although dispatches can still be| | | | |

| |zero rated, there are additional conditions which must be met| | | | |

| |before the dispatch can be zero rated: the supplier has to | | | | |

| |show his customer’s EU VAT registration number on the sale | | | | |

| |invoice, and the goods must be used by the acquirer for his | | | | |

| |business purposes. | | | | |

| | | | | | |

| |Where goods are dispatched to other EU Member States and the | | | | |

| |supplier does not have his customer’s VAT number (for | | | | |

| |example, because the customer is a non-taxable person) he | | | | |

| |must charge VAT even though the goods have left the | | | | |

| |supplier’s country. This type of transaction is known as | | | | |

| |“distance selling” and, to avoid an imbalance in intra-EU | | | | |

| |trade, if a supplier’s distance sales exceed a value in | | | | |

| |ECU’s, the supplier must register for VAT in that country. | | | | |

| | | | | | |

| |It should be noted that a dispatch in one EU Member State | | | | |

| |will give rise to an acquisition in the recipient EU Member | | | | |

| |State. | | | | |

|District |A governmental entity that can be a sub-jurisdictional |Administrative Area | | |xAL |

| |component of a state, county, or city. Typical types of | | | |(CIQ) |

| |districts, police districts, etc. | | | |(UBL) |

| | | | | | |

| |uniform tax monies to jurisdictions. | | | | |

|Excise Tax |A tax imposed on the, sale or consumption of commodities or | | | | |

| |services such as fuel, cigarettes, utility services, | | | | |

| |alcoholic beverages, automobile rentals, etc. These taxes are| | | | |

| |often imposed at the retail or wholesale level of commerce. | | | | |

|Exempt With Credit |In some Member States within the European Union (EU) there is|Zero Rated | | | |

| |an allowance for certain goods or services to be “free” of | | | | |

| |VAT, but for tax on expenses to be recoverable. In the UK | | | | |

| |this is achieved by designating a tax rate of 0% applicable | | | | |

| |to certain items. These “zero-rated” supplies are considered| | | | |

| |taxable supplies, but no VAT is actually charged to the | | | | |

| |consumer. These supplies include books and newspapers, | | | | |

| |children’s clothes, food, transport services and exports. | | | | |

| |Some other Member States designate such zero-rated supplies | | | | |

| |as “exempt with credit”. | | | | |

|Exemption |A sale of tangible personal property or service, which would | | | | |

| |normally be taxable, but based on how the TPP or service is | | | | |

| |used, and/or who uses or sells the TPP or service, is not | | | | |

| |subject to tax. Or a special kind of tax rule which defines a| | | | |

| |situation in which no tax is required. | | | | |

|Exemption Certificate |A document that when properly completed by the purchaser and | | | | |

| |accepted in "good faith" by the seller allows for the | | | | |

| |elimination of tax on a transaction or series of | | | | |

| |transactions. | | | | |

|Exemption Certificate |The date that identifies when the exemption certificate is no| |Generalization: | | |

|Expiration Date |longer valid. | |- Date | | |

|Expense |An entity’s immediate write-off of a cost of doing business. | | | | |

| |In the case where a piece of tangible personal property is | | | | |

| |expensed and not capitalized, and is still required to be | | | | |

| |reported for property tax, it is usually due to the fact that| | | | |

| |it is below a particular dollar amount set by the accounting | | | | |

| |department of a particular entity. | | | | |

|Extended Price |The amount that is arrived at by multiplying the cost of an | | | | |

| |item by the quantity of items. For example, an item sells | | | | |

| |for $10 and a buyer purchases 10 of these items, the extended| | | | |

| |price is $100 ($10 X 10). This amount is the basis for the | | | | |

| |Calculation of taxes. | | | | |

|Fair Market Value |The market price of real estate, as determined by an | | | | |

| |appraiser based on similar real property in a particular | | | | |

| |area. | | | | |

|Federal Employer |A number assigned to a legal entity by the Federal | | | | |

| |confused with a state's sales tax registration number. | | | | |

|Federal Information |FIPS is an acronym for "Federal Information Processing | | | | |

|Processing Standard |Standard". This code is maintained by the U.S. Department of| | | | |

|(FIPS) code |Commerce and National Bureau of Standards to facilitate | | | | |

| |information interchange between government bodies and | | | | |

| |industry. This is a 10-digit code that uniquely identifies a | | | | |

| |geographic location. | | | | |

|Filing Frequency |The interval specified by a taxing authority for filing tax | | | | |

| |returns. For example: monthly, quarterly, bi-monthly, or | | | | |

| |annually. The required frequency is usually determined by | | | | |

| |reaching a threshold based on historical accumulated tax | | | | |

| |liability. | | | | |

|Filing Period |Calendar period in which tax was collected and is being | | | | |

| |reported on a tax return. Typically identified on a tax | | | | |

| |return as a month and year (for example, January 1997 or Jan | | | | |

| |97) or as a range of dates (for example, January 1 thru | | | | |

| |January 31, 1997). | | | | |

| |factors as overcapacity, inadequacy, and changes in the part | | | | |

| |that affect the property item itself or its relation with | | | | |

| |other items comprising a larger property. The inability of a | | | | |

| |structure to perform adequately the function for which it is | | | | |

| |employed. | | | | |

|General Ledger |A company's accounting records containing all the offsetting | | | | |

| |debit and credit accounts. A company's accounting records | | | | |

|Intrastat |A document prepared by EU Member States providing statistics | | | | |

| |on the trading of goods with other Member States. As Member | | | | |

| |States can no longer extract the relevant data from their own| | | | |

| |Customs forms, new reports have been introduced that | | | | |

| |businesses must complete and return to the relevant | | | | |

| |government body. The documents are completed for both | | | | |
