Overview

This course is designed for non-VAT professionals who require a beginner’s guide to VAT and need to know the essential VAT information to make more informed and confident VAT related decisions. This course will help guide learners through key considerations such as how to calculate VAT on supplies, how to avoid irrecoverable VAT and ways to minimise VAT costs.

Description

VAT is the very essence of a business tax - it applies to all purchases and sales transactions. The important decisions on whether to charge VAT, reclaim it or decide whether VAT has been properly charged by suppliers are taken by the people who are embedded into core business activities and those people are often unaware of the impact their decisions have on the business. Make yourself more VAT aware by gaining a better understanding of VAT and its practical application to everyday business.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
