Online Charities & VAT Training

An online, live, interactive course tailored to your needs - for 1 to 10 participants

Despite popular belief, there are no significant VAT reliefs available for charities and so, with a few exceptions, they are generally subject to the same rules as any other organisation. However, applying the VAT rules can be complex and challenging, as most charities have a mix of business and non-business activities.

 

Do you have a VAT issue and are not sure where to find an answer?

This two-hour course is perfect for anyone involved with VAT in the charity sector. It will provide an outline of the main VAT issues affecting charities so you leave with a good grasp of how to identify the way in which VAT impacts charities and their activities.

“I love educating people in VAT, primarily to ensure they don’t fall foul of the VAT rules, but also as there are so many opportunities too if VAT is given enough consideration.” My courses are designed so you get the most out of them and so are relatively informal in nature. This course will be a live interactive session suitable for an in-house finance team or for accountants in practice and can be tailored to your specific needs.

This course will cover:

  • The basics of VAT
  • Business and non-business activities
  • Partial exemption and VAT recovery
  • Should the charity be VAT registered?
  • Use of a trading subsidiary
  • The VAT status of the different types of income streams for charities
  • Grants & Service Level Agreements
  • VAT reliefs on expenditure incurred by charities
  • Property issues and the option to tax
