Remember – we will send you a link to a recording of each webinar afterwards so even if you are unable to attend live you will still have access to the content. However, it would be great to have as many of you at the live webinars as possible, particularly so your questions can be addressed. You can ask questions throughout each webinar which can be sorted during the webinar and answered at the end, but please do not ask all the questions at the very end, as it becomes impossible to manage sorting the questions and answering them at the same time! Also, please let us know if you have any specific questions about the different topics/sections listed above, and we can cover these during the webinars/or in the questions at the end (it is helpful to receive your questions in advance so the presenter can prepare for them) – please send these to Andrea and indicate which session they relate to i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4.
The webinar will be presented by the enthusiastic and knowledgeable Centurion VAT Specialists, Liz Maher and Louise Gray. The content has been developed in conjunction with Martin Scammell, the leading expert on VAT and property.
This course will review the key areas of property and construction VAT, identifying risks and opportunities, and where expert help is valuable and essential. It is aimed at finance or estates staff with an existing working knowledge of VAT, including VAT recovery principles, non-business activities etc. who would like to widen out or refresh their knowledge in this area and learn more about land and property VAT.
Cost: £300 per delegate, inc. VAT.
Presenters: Liz Maher and Louise Gray are both Directors of Centurion VAT Specialists, formed in 1998 as a VAT Advisory service by the then University of Wales, Newport. The aim then, as now, was to ensure the university sector could access expertise in VAT specifically experienced in education and thus broaden the choice available for the sector. Such has been the success of this model that the team has grown to five experienced VAT personnel, broadened its geographical reach and client base - universities, FE Colleges, housing associations, local authorities and the corporate sector all now access their support.
Formerly an HMCE VAT Inspector and indirect tax director with Ernst & Young, Liz Maher, with 35 years’ VAT experience, joined Centurion in 2002, becoming a director in 2007 when Centurion became an independent firm. A regular VAT speaker at events for the ICAEW, ACCA, AAT and Orca Law, Liz has also presented sessions at the last three BUFDG tax conferences. Liz has an ability to convey VAT knowledge in a practical, informative and engaging way, ensuring course delegates really do benefit. Liz’s co-presenter, Louise Gray leads on all aspects of VAT support required by Centurion’s education clients. Her career in VAT began in 1987 in HMCE, and she was formerly a senior consultant with Ernst & Young in the UK, with a stint overseas in Australia, so she has a wealth of practical VAT experience to support the sector. Louise’s specialism in education is complemented by a wider public sector VAT knowledge, including local authorities.
