Registration Time: 13:15

Participation Fees
MIA Members: €40.00
Non-MIA Members: €75.00
Retired Members: €20.00
Students: €30.00

*Group bookings for 3 or more participants available.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC provides for various VAT exemptions which are transposed into the Fifth Schedule to the Maltese VAT Act Cap.406 of the Laws of Malta applicable to particular supplies of goods and services. The session will focus on the main VAT exemptions primarily:
• Exemptions with credit,
• Exemptions Without Credit
• Exempt Intra community Acquisitions
• Exempt importation
During the session we will discuss mainly the conditions and respective criteria which need to be satisfied for such exemptions to apply including the effect on the right of refund too. The importance is primarily two-fold; on one side one needs to ensure that the exemptions are only applied when all the applicable conditions are satisfied, hence avoiding under declaring any output VAT (with the respective implications of penalties and interest). On the other hand, it is equally important to be aware of the applicability of the exemptions, which if not identified in a timely manner might lead to the un-necessary imposition of VAT when not essentially required, hence potentially leading to over-charging on certain supplies with the respective implications on competitiveness.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

• Background Information
• Exemptions with credit,
• Exemptions Without Credit
• Exempt Intra Community Acquisitions
• Exempt Importations

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

Attendance is encouraged for participants to understand when VAT is due to be charged or not due to the applicability of a VAT Exemption (hence avoiding charging/self-charging VAT when there is an opportunity not to) and at the same time making sure that VAT Exemptions are not interpreted and applied incorrectly as it might prove to be costly. More importantly, the session will explain the theoretical basis and the respective practical implementation of VAT Exemptions enabling the participants to understand which are those factors/provisions which determine whether a supply is exempt or not any why. As always, active participation and questions from participants are encouraged and will be tackled and answered during the session itself making the session more useful and relevant for all those

Target Audience

This course is ideal both to experienced personnel (directors, accountants, lawyers, financial professionals, accounting students, financial staff) who have been working in VAT for a number of months/years (who may need to brush up their technical knowledge or fill in certain gaps and clarify certain issues relating to the right to claim back input VAT) as well as newcomers in the respective sectors (who have an opportunity to get a very good theoretical and practical understanding of the main applicable VAT refund concepts) .

*Group bookings for 3 or more participants available.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Intangible assets are an increasingly important component of an entity’s value, particularly in knowledge-based and innovation-driven industries. Accounting for intangible assets can be both complex and tricky, due to their non-physical nature and because they’re often internally generated – not to mention the consequential subjectivity and judgement required.
One of the greatest areas of complexity is at the start (recognition stage). The question to answer at this stage is: do I recognise this expenditure as an intangible asset, or do I simply charge the cost to the income statement?
Any intangible assets recognised need to also be measured correctly at each reporting date (based on the selected, or applicable, model).
This area of accounting requires a solid understanding of the principles set out in IFRS (IAS 38), and GAPSME (Section 11).
The objective of this session is to provide a clear and practical overview of how intangible assets should be recognised, measured, and presented in the financial statements. The session will explore practical examples and address challenges that preparers frequently face in this area.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

• Characteristics of intangible assets.
• A deep-dive into internally generated intangible assets (research and development).
• Measurement models and subsequent accounting.
• Practical considerations.
• Recent developments

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

Intangible assets—such as software, brands, and development costs—often represent significant value but come with significant accounting complexity. This session will help participants navigate the practicalities of recognising and measuring these assets correctly, aligning with both IFRS and GAPSME. It is designed to be both a refresher and a guide, helping you avoid common mistakes, improve judgment, and keep up to date with evolving expectations.

Target Audience

This session is tailored for accountants in practice and in industry, as well as accountancy students. Whether you regularly deal with intangibles or simply want to strengthen your understanding of this often-challenging area, this session will provide valuable insights and guidance.
