New EU Payments services Directive (PSD2) is entering into force

European Union has adopted a new directive on payment services (PSD2) to improve the existing rules of PSD1 and take new digital payment services into account. The requirements of the new EU Directive (PSD2) on the commission applicable to payments in EU and European Economic Area (EEA) enters into force on January 13, 2018.

Find out what will be changed!

From now on the banks will be able to execute all the payments in EU and EEA, regardless of their currency, only with a charge option “SHA” or “shared” - applying charge option “OUR” will no longer be possible. This requirement applies to payments in any currency.

This means that, when executing a payment and paying the commission, the beneficiary bank will charge commission for the incoming payment and commissions of a corresponding bank, if any. As a result, there might be a situation that a smaller amount will appear on the receiver’s account than initially transferred. Exact expenses of all corresponding banks currently are not yet known. No changes will take place for the payments in EUR currency, already now they are executed only with the charge option “SHA”.

For the incoming money transfers from EU and EEA in the non-EU currencies, (USD, RUB, CHN, CAD, JPY, RUB, AUD etc.) the clients, who previously received money transfers with the charge option “Payer” or “OUR", from now on will receive the money as “SHA”, paying the commission for the incoming payment in accordance with the Bank’s price list.

Cash book template: a useful tool for bookkeeping

The cash book is one of the most important accounting books for corporate bookkeeping. In the form of a simple document, often an Excel spreadsheet, the cash book is used to record a   company’s cash payments . After all, if the annual financial statements are due at the end of the fiscal year, the IRS doesn’t only want to see the transactions done via debit or credit, but also a list of all cash transactions. Keeping a cash book helps ensure that this list is complete. Corresponding templates are a great help. The advantage of a   digital cash book format using an Excel spreadsheet : It’s quick, clear, and the entered amounts are automatically offset against each other. In this way, digital cash book templates offer a direct overview of the financial situation of a company and spare the need for time-consuming calculations – where errors can easily creep in. A cash book template also has advantages for all self-employed individuals – regardless of whether you’re oblig...

BREXIT AND VAT

The EVD has direct and over-riding effect on all EU Member States but local legislation is required because the EVD allows for countries to pick and choose certain rules. As a result, the local VAT rules across the EU are not always consistent. Why is this important when thinking about Brexit? It’s important because once the UK leaves the EU it will theoretically (but this is not certain) no longer be bound by the EVD. This means that the UK could have free reign to amend its VAT rules as it sees fit. For example, it would no longer be prevented from applying a reduced VAT rate on supplies of women’s sanitary products which is currently precluded under the EVD. Also, the rates of VAT applied to physical and digital newspapers and books (zero-rated and standard-rated respectively) could be harmonised without having to get the agreement of all 27 other EU Member States.
