Charities benefit from significant exemptions in certain areas of taxation – unfortunately VAT is not one of them. Instead they are generally subject to the same rules as any other organisation and due to their mix of business and non-business activities, effectively applying the VAT rules can be even more challenging.
This course is essential for anyone involved with VAT in the charity sector. It guides you through everything you need know about VAT and will leave you in a position to be able to confidently interpret the rules and apply them in a way which reduces its impact on your charity.
Crucially, the course will take you through the VAT reliefs and exemptions that are available to charities. It will clearly explain how you should structure your activities in order to take advantage of the various reliefs available – ultimately reducing your VAT burden and allowing you to focus on your main charitable objectives. The course will also address some of the topical issues that could affect you.
