Invoicing Feb 22, 2017

Hi Radost,

Some time ago I posted a question in IAPTI's LinkedIn forum, but I have not received a reply:

Due to IAPTI’s pending registration and lacking tax number, there have been concerns about participants putting down the conference fee as business expense. How have these concerns been addressed?


The same issue was raised by Catherine Howard here on ProZ early January:

Catherine Howard wrote:

One way or the other, keep in mind what IAPTI’s board says in its reply, that its registration with the government is still not finalized, so it does “not have signed ledgers and other formalities of governmental oversight and auditing." This means that, until it is authorized as a legal entity, it does not report to its tax authorities or have a tax number to provide on its receipts. So you may want to consult your accountant about whether you’re allowed to put down any fees paid to IAPTI (such as membership or conference fees) as business expenses in your own income tax returns. Some countries mandate that such expenses can be deducted only if receipts from another entity have a tax ID indicating it is reporting income to its own government.


Could you or IAPTI's competent authorities chip in, please?

Attila,

IAPTI is an approved civil association as of today, hence fully registered and approved. IAPTI will address this and other conference-related matters directly with each attendee.

Lorena Vicente
