Many UK businesses supply services to customers outside the UK. Equally, they may receive services from overseas suppliers. The rules which apply to the treatment of VAT in these situations are complex - this half-day seminar explains them in a logical and methodical way with plenty of illustrative examples and case studies.

The seminar describes the new rules which apply from 1 January 2010.
