Withholding Tax Calculations • Penalties & Interest • Consequences of Non-Compliance

This course will give a clear overview of the legislation and rules relating to Professional Services Withholding Tax - PSWT. We will examine the types of payments that are subject to PSWT and those which are exempt, with a detailed look into various “professional services” that are not subject to PSWT. This course will also explore practical challenges that payers often encounter such as handling multiple supplies and expenses.

We will outline requirements for certain public bodies to file a Return of Payments to Revenue, as opposed to submitting an annual PSWT schedule of payments, and what payments must be included in this return. What will Revenue look at in the event of an audit and what are the possible repercussions? This and more will be covered in this half-day comprehensive training course.
