The course will help people achieve a complete understanding of the rules and regulations of VAT and property transactions. The course will benefit people responsible for accounting for VAT within their organisation and it will also benefit people who deal in and advise on property transactions. It reviews the major effects that property transactions have on VAT, and it clearly illustrates the procedures and controls to be implemented to comply with the requirements. It clearly demonstrates when particular property transactions should be treated as exempt and when they should be zero-rated, reduced-rated or standard-rated. It will also highlight for you the many pitfalls that can be avoided if proper consideration is given to the VAT implications before you commit your organisation to a contract that involves property transactions – too often people do something to reduce their VAT liability without appreciating the implications it has on other forms of taxation.
