VAT for Training Providers (1890)

Tuesday, 9th September 2008,

Overview

An insight into how to deal effectively with current VAT legislation.

Content

There are many financial challenges facing training providers. The aim of these workshops is to provide clarification to training providers on VAT legislation and its application.

VAT

Many training providers suffer huge irrecoverability problems on VAT. Consequently an increase in the recoverability of VAT would be a considerable bonus. Did you know that training, whether or not funded from Government sources, that does not qualify for vocational training falls outside of the scope of the VAT exemption and is thus liable to VAT, at the standard-rate?

The ever changing structures within funded programmes generate VAT issues.  In fact, because VAT is a transaction tax, everything you provide has a VAT potential risk of benefit.

The workshop will cover:

• Definition of training
• Recoverability on costs
• VAT Planning

Who Should Attend?

The workshop is suitable for all training providers whether commercial or charitable, other non-profit making organisations, partnerships and networks.  Finance directors, financial controllers, managing directors, course directors, accountants, book-keepers, CEO’s and trustees will find the Workshop useful.

Note: VAT registration is not necessary as VAT issues will also affect those organisations not currently registered.

Facilitator

The Facilitator has been involved in VAT for over 33 years. He was formerly a VAT Inspector with H M Customs and Excise for 17 years, for the last five of which he was in charge of the Salisbury VAT office.

He then joined a national firm, and for 15 years advised its clients on VAT, the last 4 as a partner.

He now operates his own consultancy business from which he is able to provide more flexible and practical advice.

He has a particular interest in the travel industry, education, training, Charities and welfare services, in advising on the VAT issues, which are particularly complex.  He is also a member of the Association of Indirect Tax Practitioners.

As an example of his practical and specialised approach he advises the Association of Learning Providers on VAT matters regularly giving seminars, attending conferences and exhibiting, to provide a readily accessible source of VAT advice to Training Providers, who suffer severe complexities in the application of VAT.

To demonstrate the effectiveness of these seminars, clients have to date benefited, by refunds totalling over £2 million pounds, and in addition enjoyed the benefits of more advantageous VAT treatment.
