Would you have sufficient margin to cover a VAT bill on your exports?

With VAT at 20%, it would be remarkable if the answer were “yes”. Even then, do you really want to give away that hard earned profit to HM Revenue & Customs?

Well that’s what you could be faced with, if you are one of the 70% of businesses that are not fully compliant with VAT rules on cross border trade. Your mistake could be as simple as failing to put a few extra words on your invoice or being let down by your customer on documentation needed for HM Revenue & Customs.

To add insult to injury, you could also be charged a penalty of up to 30% of the tax assessed for your carelessness.

Join us for this evening seminar and experienced VAT Consultant, Steve Botham, will take you through the essential guide to VAT on cross border transactions, which will set out briefly the key aspects of VAT compliance primarily within the EU, where businesses are falling down. There will also be a chance to find the solutions to your international tax related queries from our expert panel during the interactive surgery session.

If this seminar saves you running into trouble on one export transaction, it will more than cover your time investment.

Attendance is free of charge for emita members or £50 plus VAT for non members which includes refreshments and a buffet supper. To register, please contact the emita team - details below
