Limassol – It was crunch time for the 2021-2022 class of the Diploma in VAT Excellence (DiVE) who took their final exams yesterday in Limassol.

The three-hour written exam was preceded last week by a one-hour oral examination.

The 2021-2022 DiVE, which commenced in September of last year and ended with the final exams, included 30 full-day classes and 1-on-1 workshops.

The successful candidates will receive the Diploma in VAT Excellenceissued by the Chelco VAT International Academy.

The Diploma in VAT Excellence is a course spanning a period of 10-months, which elevates Value Added Tax knowledge to the level of a VAT expert, with an emphasis on the Cyprus VAT legislation.

The world of VAT requires dedication and knowledge to tackle the complexities of the legislation. Attending a seminar, conference or a short course may be enlightening to an extent, but is certainly not sufficient as a basis for providing VAT advice or offering VAT compliance services. The purpose of DiVE is to allow individuals and/or businesses to invest in a solid foundation on which they can then offer or apply the knowledge gained to service their own VAT requirements or those of their clients.

Registrations for the academic year 2022-2023 are now open. An early registration discount is valid until the end of July 2022. For more information click here.
