Tax and VAT Basics
A practical introduction to business taxes for finance assistants, buyers, salespeople, office managers and small business owners. Learn how value added tax (VAT) and goods and services tax (GST) work, from output and input tax to valid invoices, returns, refunds and corrections, and how withholding tax, tax on profits, customs duty and cross-border risks fit in. Rules differ by country, so the course teaches the principles with invented example rates and shows you what to check locally.
