Anyone who raises requisitions or purchase orders in a university is likely to need to apply a tax code of some kind to those requisitions/POs. While the actual coding structure will be specific to each individual university, the principles behind which code to choose are largely common to all universities. The VAT on Purchasing in HE module introduces individuals across the whole of your university (not just central finance staff) to how to consider and choose the correct tax code by explaining why and when VAT can be reclaimed on purchases, and when it cannot.
As well as all those raising requisitions/POs, this module will also be useful to procurement staff who need to understand the VAT cost of purchases, departmental staff involved in budgeting, and accounts payable staff considering/checking the tax coding on purchase invoices.
All our BUFDG Pro modules, including VAT on Purchasing in HE, can be accessed here, and anyone in your university who doesn't have a BUFDG log in can get do a quick registration for e-learning here.
