Course overview
VAT vendors often deal with VAT verifications and audits. In this live CPD event, we will discuss the areas that are typically scrutinised by SARS during such a VAT verification or audit and what the VAT vendor should do to ensure compliance and manage VAT risks.

In this webinar, we will cover the following topics:
  • The correct VAT treatment of bad debt and recovery of bad debt;
  • The correct VAT treatment of entertainment and when the VAT related to entertainment expenses will be claimable;
  • The correct VAT treatment of costs incurred in relation to motor vehicles;
  • The correct VAT treatment of insurance pay-outs;
  • When and how should VAT be apportioned;
  • How creditor balances outstanding for longer than 12 months should be treated;  and
