Bespoke VAT training for charities

Posted Clock icon-2 Mins
  1. Have you ever struggled to find suitable VAT training for new trustees or Board members?
  2. Do your staff struggle to find useful events to keep up to date with CPD requirements throughout the year?
  3. Are you looking for VAT training that’s specific to you rather than general charity focused?

If the answer to any of these is ‘Yes’, you might consider some bespoke training delivered by the Henderson Loggie VAT advisory team. Not only does the training improve compliance and expand knowledge, it acts as proof that the clarity takes its HMRC compliance responsibility seriously which can be helpful should HMRC seek to impose a penalty for ‘careless’ behaviour.

Our Approach

Our approach is to scope out your needs and develop suitable materials to focus on those aspects that are key to your charity.

Topics might include;

  • Income – does VAT apply and at what rate?
  • How to treat grant and non-trading / non-business funding including donations and legacies
  • How to maximise VAT recovery on expenditure
  • Recovery of VAT on capital expenditure and the capital goods scheme
  • Maximising VAT reliefs available on expenditure (eg property, advertising)

Our training is delivered by experienced VAT practitioners and trainers renowned for making VAT compliance more clear after their events;

“The Henderson Loggie VAT team provided detailed training on VAT – and particularly partial exemption – for our accounts team.  Their presentation was bespoke to us, to meet our specific needs and questions and ensured once we’d covered principles that we worked through the practical application to us.

We now feel far more comfortable in our understanding of how VAT impacts the business and will use the materials provided as part of our processes going forward.  Who knew an afternoon of VAT training could be almost enjoyable!  It always feels like money well spent for the input we get from you and we really value your support.”

We are keenly aware that charity funds can be stretched, so our pricing allows for as many attendees as you care to involve and our sessions can be delivered face-to-face or virtually – and recorded to allow non-attendees to pick up the learning later as well as providing a permanent reference record.
