Finance Directors' Bitesize Briefing – session five – VAT & Free ports

Yesterday we hosted the final session of this round of Finance Directors’ Briefings, with a VAT update from Indirect Tax Director Becky Hayes and a look at free ports and their implications from partner Liam Dushynsky. This session also looked at VAT for hospitality businesses and the domestic reverse charge impacting on the property & construction sector.

If you were unable to join us but would like to catch up on the session please do so via the recording below.

That concludes this round of Finance Directors’ Bitesize Briefings, where our experts have provided updates and guidance on everything from the proposed audit reforms to insolvency statistics in light of Covid-19 and many other topical issues. If you have missed any sessions but would like to catch up all sessions are available on our website under the insights page.

We will be hosting future Finance Directors’ briefings later this year with another round of important updates directly from our experts. Please stay tuned for further information on the next round of events.
