We are pleased to be hosting a special 90-minute pop-up training session, designed exclusively for the public sector. This session will cover essential VAT rules and compliance requirements for Local Authority Voluntary-Aided Schools.

VAT and Local Authrotiy Voluntary-Aided Schools is a challenging and often misunderstood area. With budgets under increasing pressure, it’s more important than ever for finance and administrative teams to understand how VAT operates, who is liable to account for VAT, and whether VAT is recoverable in this complex field. By gaining clarity on the rules and applying them correctly, Local Authorities and Governing Bodies can minimise the risk of costly errors, interest, or penalties, whilst maximising input VAT recovery, and therefore stretching their budget further.

This essential online training course will provide Local Authority VAT Officers with clarity on how to apply the VAT rules in respect of Local Authority Voluntary-Aided Schools, equipping them with the knowledge needed to confidently and compliantly adhere to the rules.

Key Topics in the Local Authority Voluntary-Aided Schools VAT Training Include:

  • Identify Local Authority and Governing Body responsibilities
  • Treatment of goods and services supplied to Local Authority Voluntary-Aided Schools, and how to correctly treat these for VAT purposes
  • Review income streams, and determine who the funding belongs to
  • Understanding the VAT treatment of Voluntary Aided Schools’ capital expenditure
  • Gain confidence using the HMRC flowchart

Who will benefit from attending this training?

This course is ideal for Local Authority finance staff, including VAT Officers, finance business partners, as well as finance officers, business managers, and members of the Governing Body from the Voluntary-Aided School.
