The UK regulations on Making Tax Digital for Business ("MTDfB") have been talked about for a long time. The first element of business taxation that will be affected is VAT where the regulations will come into force from April 2019 and April 2020. This webinar is therefore relevant for any building society that is VAT registered.
The BSA, in conjunction with our Associate ALMIS International, brings you this full-day seminar covering a range of current and relevant topics across liquidity, treasury and asset/liability management for building societies and smaller banks. This event is designed for staff in building societies and ALMIS International bank clients who have some involvement or responsibility in liquidity, treasury and ALM matters, and may also be of interest to non-executive directors requiring an update in this field.
