Reclaiming Your VAT
Reclaim the VAT on your Euromoney Training Courses in the UK
Why am I being charged VAT?
The EU VAT Directive stipulates that all training and educational courses that are provided in the UK must include a VAT charge on payment.
Can I reclaim my VAT back?
Overseas delegates who attend our courses in the UK are eligible to claim their VAT back once it has been paid.
How can I claim the VAT back paid on a course?
There are two ways in which you can claim back VAT back from the UK.
Option 1 - Directly through HM Revenue and Customs
The most cost-efficient way is to claim back VAT directly from the UK Tax Authority (HMRC) by completing the following form.
For European clients, please refer to form VAT 65.
All other clients, please refer to form VAT 65A.
Option 2 - Through our Recommended VAT Reclaim Service – VAT IT
The specific rules for VAT reclaim will vary according to the laws of your country of residence. This can be complicated and time-consuming.
Euromoney have an exclusive partnership with VAT IT, specialists in international VAT reclaim. VAT IT will review, process and submit your VAT refund on your behalf.
VAT IT will charge a percentage of the VAT refund if/when it is successful.
If you want to find out more about this service, please email your details to: euromoney@vatit.com
You may also be able to claim back your VAT against courses taking place outside of the UK, and we would recommend contacting VAT IT, our specialist partner, to discuss how to do this.
Treasury Risk Management
-
Treasury is at the heart of every banking and financing operation. Ensuring liquidity must be the top priority, as the fundamental survival of any institution depends on it. Market, interest rate, and operational risk can never be eliminated, but instead must be measured, monitored, and controlled to ensure profitability. In managing risk, treasury professionals utilise the full array of funding and hedging instruments to respond to changing balance sheet and market scenarios. Sound treasury risk management is possible only through an effective and efficient governance and policy structure, with senior management fully engaged with the Asset Liability Committee (ALCO).
By the end of this program, participants will be better able to:
- Analyse and assess the different types of risks arising from the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet
- Use and understand the basic tools to measure risk and its sensitivity to changing market conditions
- Know which funding instruments and hedging strategies are available and when to best put them into practice
- Evaluate the extent of liquidity risk exposure in a bank, via the application of a full suite of liquidity risk metrics
- Understand liquidity buffers and their management
- Appreciate liquidity risks beyond basic loans and deposits
- Evaluate the appropriate level of liquidity risk controls, with the consequences for lending;
- Grasp the formulation and value of stress tests
- Understand the concept of internal funds transfer pricing and evaluate the appropriateness of a particular model to any type of institution
- Formulate a range of funding policies for the banking and trading books
- Understand the role and influence of the Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) of a bank, and its appropriate governance framework
