Join us for out first VAT & Property Summer Update. If you work in VAT, you almost certainly can’t escape property and construction – with new challenges constantly emerging that can impact you or any of your clients at any time. When it comes to VAT, you need to know what’s going on, and you need to avoid the risk of making the wrong assumptions.
​
This Summer, ahead of our November conference, we are working in association with Scammell & Nyland to provide you with a digital half-day update to take us through the latest developments in VAT & Property in the UK and provide an excellent opportunity to hear from and engage with two of the leading experts in their field.
​
This event will be broadcast live via Zoom on Tuesday the 5th of July from 9.45am through to approximately 1pm, with a 15min break midway through, followed by a Q&A with HMRC until 1.30pm.
