Medically Exempt Tax, Thu 21 Nov, 14h00 - 14h45
This (new) briefing session has been set up to remind iProc buyers/requisitioners of when departments are eligible to apply/claim medical exemption VAT relief. This area of VAT is a current focus of HMRC. Additionally, Fisher (one of our e-invoicing suppliers) are reviewing their controls over the application of Medical Exemption, and are therefore checking our use of ME0% on recent orders.

This session covers how to make a financial plan, prepare it for upload to the finance system and monitor progress against the plan. It is a practical course which will look at the techniques and systems within the University that can be used for budgeting. It is an ideal follow on from Managing the Budget Part 1 and for those who have a good working knowledge of budgeting principles and want to develop skills in using the University budgeting tools.
