You will learn about the tax implications of leasing and become familiar with the most common pitfalls when preparing the balance sheet. Special cases of leasing are also dealt with. The practice-oriented approach of your expert will enable you to apply your knowledge directly in professional practice. After the training , you will be able to determine the beneficial owner of a leased asset, understand the effects of leasing on the annual financial statements and know the necessary VAT steps.
