Course overview

This is a comprehensive training course designed for people who are responsible for any aspect of a public body’s VAT obligations or those of a VAT-exempt organisation.

VAT is one of the most complicated taxes with various rules and exceptions and staff responsible for the VAT implications of such transactions, cannot be expected to handle such complicated issues without the benefit of dedicated training.

This course is ideal for those who have never undergone a structured VAT training course, or for those who wish to undergo a comprehensive VAT refresher course.

  • Professionals working in the Accounts or Finance Department of public bodies.
