EU: ECJ Clarifies Distance Selling Rules in Excise Duties The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has tightened transport responsibility rules for distance sales of excise goods. It now holds sellers accountable even for indirect involvement, such as recommending transport providers or forwarding order details. This prevents sellers from circumventing distance selling rules by making it appear that buyers arrange transport. Rainald Vobbe and Charlotte Pötters from our German member firm Flick Gocke Schaumburg have analysed this ruling in more detail, highlighting its impact on e-commerce logistics and tax compliance across the EU.

🏆 Classement Legal 500 2025 : Arsene fait coup double !   Après son entrée récente en Band 1 du classement Chambers & Partners, Arsene réitère l’exploit en obtenant également le Band 1 en Tax du classement Legal 500. Une double reconnaissance d’autant plus exceptionnelle que nous sommes l’un des deux seuls cabinets en France à être classés au plus haut niveau dans ces deux classements internationaux.   👉Cette double reconnaissance internationale souligne notre expertise sur les enjeux fiscaux stratégiques, aussi bien en France qu’à l’international, et vient confirmer notre rôle clé auprès des entreprises sur les sujets les plus complexes et structurants. Une distinction unique : Arsene est également le seul cabinet en band 1 à avoir obtenu le label "Client Satisfaction", une reconnaissance précieuse qui témoigne de la confiance et de la satisfaction de nos clients quant à la qualité de notre accompagnement.   📌Legal 500 souligne notamment notre force collective et notre expertise reconnue en fiscalité des entreprises, M&A, private equity et immobilier (Mirouna Verban, Denis Andres, Alexandre Rocchi, François Lugand) où nos équipes accompagnent des transactions d’envergure en due diligence et structuration fiscale. Le classement met également en avant notre excellence en prix de transfert et fiscalité internationale (Benoit BEC et Vincent Desoubries) et TVA (Nathalie Habibou). Enfin, notre savoir-faire en contentieux et contrôles fiscaux, porté par Denis Andres, en particulier dans les secteurs des médias, de l’énergie, du luxe et de la construction, est salué comme une référence sur le marché.   💡Une nouvelle étape dans l’histoire d’Arsene : alors que le cabinet vient de célébrer ses 20 ans en 2024, cette double distinction souligne notre rôle incontournable sur le marché et vient récompenser notre choix audacieux qui fait notre singularité depuis l’origine : être le premier cabinet d'avocats indépendant, exclusivement dédié à la fiscalité.   🚀 Félicitations à nos associés et à toutes nos équipes pour cette réussite collective, et un immense merci à nos clients et partenaires pour leur confiance ! 🎉 #Fiscalité #Tax #Avocats #Legal500

Saludos de Madrid – a postcard from Susanne! 📬 Today, we received a surprise postcard from our colleague Susanne Mederer, tax advisor at our Munich office. She’s currently on secondment at Garrigues in Madrid – all thanks to Lexchange, Taxand's new international secondment initiative. 🌍 While secondments typically last three to six months, Lexchange offers young tax professionals from Taxand firms the opportunity to spend four weeks abroad with a partner firm in the international network – uncomplicated, low-threshold, and with minimal red tape. A special thanks goes to Tim Zinowsky, who initiated this innovative programme. In her postcard, Susanne shares that she’s already gained valuable insights into Spanish tax law, made inspiring professional contacts, and – of course – is enjoying Spanish life to the fullest. Because a secondment is not only about broadening your tax knowledge, but also about expanding your international network and experience. We’re looking forward to hearing more about Susanne’s time in Spain – and we hope many more colleagues will soon be sharing their own Lexchange stories! #LexchangeSecondment Taxand: Your global tax partner #Garrigues #SecondmentExperience #TaxCareer #GlobalTax
