He/she learns to distinguish and solve concrete and existent VAT-problems through looking up in texts of law, instructions, publications and magazines, internet.

The student has to be made aware of both the necessity to accurately apply the quickly evolving VAT-legislation and the necessary willingness to follow refresher courses (workshops, seminars, refresher courses…).
