Course Description
With the expected introduction of a Value Added Tax (VAT) in the GCC countries, companies have to be prepared by upgrading the skills of their accounting staff to fully understand and properly account for the VAT. From invoicing to recording entries and preparing VAT return forms, this course provides an overview of the accounting treatment of the VAT according to the various type of goods and services. Additionally, we compiled from multiple sources the possible VAT treatments, challenges faced and questions to ask by industry, in order to help businesses in the GCC understand the likely impact from adopting VAT on their operations and financial accounts.
