VAT & TAX Conference

13 July 2022

9.30 am – 12.30 pm

VAT is a complicated area at the best of times and can be particularly complex for charitable organisations.  With a frequently changing landscape for charities and your activities, your finance team need to be up-to-date on VAT and tax regulations.

Luckily, we have the right event for you: our online VAT & Tax conference.

Our experts will share their insight into the current landscape and will bring the latest on a whole range of issues, including:

Updates on the latest developments in VAT case law and VAT regulations and how these might apply to your charity.

Understanding the distinction between grants and supply of services for VAT purposes, alongside a hands-on demonstration of how to prepare a VAT return with partial exemption calculations.

You can also take part in a dedicated troubleshooting session, helping you maximise the available reliefs and VAT recovery for your charity.
