Objectives
The VAT course and case studies have to be considered as an addition on the course General Accountancy.

The student must know the basic content of the VAT-legislation, he must also know the content and the legal terms for submission of the legally required pieces like the VAT-declaration.

This basic knowledge is exercised thoroughly so she is present at the beginning of the course Indirect taxes in the second grade. In this course the emphasis doesn't lie on the theoretical legislation, but on the application of the legislation: through practical exercises on processing of the invoices and on filling in of the periodical VAT-declaration the student gets an insight in the legislation concerned.

The students learns to work accurately through exercises and emphasis is laid on sense for order; the quality of fiscal documents is after all specified by completeness (formal and concerning content) and correctness of figures.
