Further to numerous requests and high demand for our VAT Course already held several times in Nicosia, Larnaca, Limassol and Paphos, EY Cyprus will be presenting this active learning session on the practical application of the VAT provisions subsidised by HRDA and accredited by Cyprus Bar Association. This time the VAT Course will take place in Limassol on 02 & 09 April 2020.
