English speaking Spanish Tax lawyer of Arcos & Lamers Asociados has the pleasure to inform you on changes of the Spanish VAT Law. The Spanish government approved the new Anti-fraud law on the 31st October, modifying the Spanish VAT law in order to avoid banks using the legal figure of lieu in payment to defraud the Tax Office in Spain. The Treasury has lately detected an increase of VAT fraud among financial institutions through lieu in payment when companies wish to settle their debt with Spanish banks.
When a company resorted to the lieu in payment to settle an outstanding debt with a bank, the financial institution acquired the property for a certain value inclusive of VAT and the company had to settle the Spanish VAT payment with the Tax Office. The company in question not only handed the property over to the bank, but was also the party liable to comply with public tax administration even though the company did not receive such amount to pay the outstanding VAT with the Tax Office.
Later on, the banks could deduce the tax payment for the acquisition as they carry out such transactions through real estate assets management companies that work solely on sales and purchases of real estate and such companies may apply these kinds of deductions.

A lot of marketing theory confuses people because it’s more complicated than it has to be. While wondrous new technologies can help you in your mission of raising your profits, marketers don’t let those technologies blur that mission. Keeping it simple is a powerful competitive advantage when it comes to speed and profitability.

Take those strokes and add as many bells, whistles, systems, technologies, apps and economic doodads as you want — but be sure that all five broad strokes are taken. Do that and you’ll never think that marketing has to be anything that Simple Simon couldn’t handle with his right hand tied behind him. Read more »
If you’ve ever walked into a retail store and wondered why certain music is playing, there may, in fact, be some rhyme and reason to the selection.
Research has shown that consumers shop longer and make more purchases when they’re exposed to music. You can use music to make your store so appealing people may want to return — even if they don’t have any buying plans. “We’re often told that because of our atmosphere, customers come into our shop on days when they need a pick-me-up or to simply relax and recharge,” says Ann O’Shields, owner of The Nest Egg, a home-furnishings shop in Fairfax, Va. “We play upbeat music and enjoy seeing our customers singing along as they shop.”
Of course, it’s important to make the right musical match with your target customers. For instance, if you’re selling upscale products, the best choice is probably classical or jazz.
In addition, music can help engage employees. “Ongoing research shows that music can boost performance in the workplace by reducing employee stress and depression, improving employee retention and saving companies significant amount of money,” says Joe Lamond, president and CEO of the National Association of Music Merchants, a music industry nonprofit in Carlsbad, Calif.
