A critical success factor for the VAT implementation will be upskilling yourself and your workforce with the right knowledge and skill-set in the coming months.
With this in mind, PwC’s Academy, the education and training business of PwC, has designed a suite of fit-for-purpose VAT courses that cover the fundamentals of the new VAT legislation, it’s impact on business and the technical and financial acumen required to manage this change.
We offer VAT courses in UAE, KSA and Qatar and these can be customised for in-house training across the GCC.



VAT is a self assessed tax, and as such all taxable persons must be aware of their rights and obligations under this system.
In this course delegates will gain an understanding of administrative and regulatory matters, such as when a business should register for VAT, when must a VAT return be completed, what are the document and record keeping requirements and the implications of non payment/ late payment.
PwC has a proven track record of helping solve tomorrow’s problems today and at the heart of that is our belief in the importance of training. We aim to equip you with the knowledge and skills to embrace the many challenges of this new regime.
Our global network of expert professionals bring their knowledge and practical experience, gained from working within leading organisations, including many in jurisdictions with established VAT systems, into the classroom to give an insight into the commercial and practical realities of working with VAT.
It is of vital importance to prepare early. Our award winning Academy has a proven track record in finance and business training, and 100% pass rates* in our tax professional qualifications, so we can support our client’s business and people in preparation for January 2018, and beyond.
Practical learning. Using practical examples, quizzes and case studies, and supplemented by e-learning support tools, our courses enhance the learning experience and help improve retention and on-the-job application.
