With this membership, the UK has agreed to comply with various EU regulations, including Value Added Tax (VAT). Fast forward to today, VAT is a crucial part of the UK's tax system, with over 2.6 million VAT-registered businesses in the country.

If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or aspiring accountant, learning about VAT is essential for understanding the complexities of the UK's tax system. However, navigating VAT regulations can be challenging, especially for those who are new to the world of finance.

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.
