OBJECTIVES

This annual course is designed for accountants returning to the professional workplace after a career break, providing an overview of the current requirements of PAYE and NIC, VAT and business and corporation tax. This is not a detailed technical course. It will give the delegates the confidence required to say "I can do that" when returning to the workplace. The basic principles of the three topics will be covered, most of which will already have been learnt and understood by delegates, but which may not have been used for some time. The course will also cover the more practical aspects of each subject area.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Returners to the professional workplace, and "old stagers", who may be dealing with payroll, VAT returns and corporation tax computation work and who need to be brought up to date.
