COVID-COVAT: BACK TO THE BASICS
We are back!
Covid-19 has affected our lives in ways that were inconceivable just a few months ago. Not since the 2013 economic crisis has Cyprus collectively shared an experience of this kind: a single, lingering crisis, structuring the rhythm of our daily lives within a complex calculus of risk and competing probabilities.
But even though the pandemic has dominated our thoughts and shifted our priorities, there are a few things that still demand our undivided attention and should not be overlooked. Like Value Added Tax (VAT).
They say that Covid-19 negatively affects the memory. So we decided to put together a memory-jogging seminar on VAT. Covid-CoVAT will explore the very basics of the VAT workings, again, for the first time.
During this half-day, morning seminar, we will follow two imaginary persons who will be involved in a number of, mostly common, transactions. Through active discussion, the participants will themselves analyze the VAT behind each supply in the numerous practical examples that will be presented. Through this, we will build up an understanding of how VAT works. By the end of the seminar, participants will feel more confident about their understanding of how VAT is applied and administered.
If you are new to the world of VAT, if you have some basic knowledge but would like to solidify your VAT understanding, or if you feel like plugging VAT-knowledge-gaps (mind the gap), then join us for an invigorating, stimulating and revitalizing, post Covid-19 (Wave 1), summery VAT seminar!
The seminar will cover the following areas of VAT:
- How VAT is applied, collected and paid
- How to understand who should charge VAT and when
- The circumstances when VAT is not imposed
- How VAT is ‘deducted’
- The VAT rates
- Covid-19 VAT changes
Due to social distancing and Covid-19 health & safety regulations that will be strictly enforced at the seminar, seats are limited!
