VAT for charities: advanced complexities and considerations
WCVA seminar
Delivered by Liz Maher, Director of Centurion VAT Specialists Ltd
You may have some understanding of the rules and regulations relating to VAT – and how they apply to your organisation – but your VAT considerations could be rather more complex if you are embarking on projects involving elements such as construction, collaboration or the transfer of services.
This interactive seminar will:
• provide you with a more strategic understanding of the VAT issues your charity faces, specifically in relation to
o property development projects
o collaborations with third parties, and
o the transfer of leisure and cultural services activities from a local authority to a newly formed charitable body
• give an insight into the VAT aspects you need to understand as you explore fundraising options, covering topical issues such as
o direct mailings,
o the Cost Sharing Exemption and
o the interaction of Gift Aid with VAT.
The seminar is for designed to assist those whose roles require an awareness of VAT. It will be suitable for trustees or staff who are either new to the third sector or new to taking on VAT responsibilities, who have a basic understanding of the operation of VAT and wish to develop that knowledge by considering more complex aspects of VAT management.
To register your interest in attending either or both seminars, please email eventsadmin@wcva.org.uk or contact 0800 2888 329.
This will be preceded by the ‘VAT for Charities’ seminar in the morning.
