Through real-life examples and practical demonstrations, learners gain confidence in handling VAT obligations in both small and large organizations while avoiding common compliance mistakes.
This course focuses on practical application rather than theory alone. Participants will work through realistic VAT scenarios, review sample invoices, prepare VAT computations and observe live demonstrations of VAT return preparation and submission through the KRA iTax platform.
The goal is to ensure every participant leaves with the ability to confidently manage VAT obligations in a professional environment.
