VAT is a self-assessed tax. It is the responsibility of all organisations to put into place the correct systems, processes and controls to ensure that VAT on relevant transactions is recorded and reported accurately, as required by the VAT regulations, and where applicable the correct payments are made to the authorities on a timely basis.
The introduction of VAT will be a significant change for businesses in Oman. This change impacts all areas of business such as HR, marketing, IT, supplies, procurements etc. and is not limited to the Finance department. Start preparing your business today!
Join our 2-day VAT programme from 21-22 March 2021 to train yourself or your colleagues in understanding and applying the VAT principles in your organisation.
At the end of the programme, you will get a certificate of completion from PwC’s Academy.
In this course participants will learn about the key concepts of VAT as well as the manner of carrying out VAT compliance in an accounting system for both outputs (sales) and inputs (purchases and expenses) in the business. Participants will also learn the accounting entries to record VAT.
