With the introduction of an increase in the level of VAT in 2011 raising concerns for many local businesses, Business Link, in partnership with Chartered Accountants Wright Vigar, is offering a FREE advisory session to help businesses across Nottinghamshire take effective steps and deal with the challenges ahead.

The event will look at what the actual VAT increase implications are, what sales are affected, the new VAT fraction, any exemptions available to help local businesses and the possible effects once the change takes place.

Stephen Smith, Chief Executive of EMB Ltd, the organisation responsible for local delivery of the Business Link service says "We hope that businesses from across Nottinghamshire will seize this valuable opportunity to attend and discover how the increase could impact on all aspects of running a successful business, from affecting sales to how accounts are managed, and benefit from the free advice and support on offer, in addition to networking with other business owners about how they approach VAT and pick up useful tips."

The event on 23rd November 2010, is FREE of charge for business owners and directors of small to medium sized enterprises, and will include light refreshments. 

Location: Newark Beacon, Beacon Hill Office Park, Cafferata Way, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG24 2TN from 2.30 - 4.30pm.
