Course overview

The Tour Operators Margin Scheme (TOMS) rules are often seen as complex and can be easily misunderstood, potentially leading to incorrect VAT accounting and missed opportunities. If TOMS applies to all or part of your business, you must have a clear understanding of the scheme to ensure that you account for VAT correctly and minimise output VAT payable under TOMS. 

This course explains TOMS in detail and will help you determine which supplies are included and how to carry out the calculation. The practical examples show TOMS in action, highlighting common issues. The course will also take you through opportunities and key considerations within TOMS, which may improve your business's VAT position. There will be practical advice and examples throughout, showing TOMS in action and highlighting common issues and how to resolve them.

More complicated and topical areas of TOMS will also be covered including...

  • The difference between in-house supplies and other margin scheme supplies
  • Supplies to businesses
  • The different calculations
  • Special situations
  • Agent vs Principal and its impact on TOMS
  • The impact of Brexit and the UK's relationship with the EU
  • Proposed EU TOMS reform
  • MTD 

Ultimately, attending this course will significantly increase your confidence when dealing with TOMS, help you avoid the common pitfalls and crucially help you improve your business’s VAT position.
