“I am a firm believer in IPASS. I paid for the CPT
  course myself and I was out on parental leave so
  that is how much I believed in it. During the course
  I realised we were due a PRSI refund.”

PAYE, PRSI and USC are the largest tax liabilities which most companies incur and
the largest source of tax recoveries on Revenue audits. The best payroll software
cannot compensate for the payroll operator’s lack of expertise in the operation of
PAYE, PRSI and USC.
The Certificate in Payroll Techniques (CPT) is the leading payroll qualification in
Ireland. The course provides students with a comprehensive and practical knowledge
of the operation of the PAYE, PRSI, USC and PRD systems and a thorough knowledge
of Employment Law which has a direct bearing on the operation of the payroll function.

Value Added Tax (VAT) is the second largest source of revenue which the Government
receives. Yet the people responsible for the management and administration of their
company’s VAT liabilities often have to do so without the benefit of specialist training
and with little or no support. The Certificate in VAT Techniques (CVT) is a superb
qualification which provides students with the skills and knowledge necessary to
manage their employer’s VAT affairs.
The course explains in detail, the important principles and workings of the Irish VAT
system, for all kinds of businesses. This course also outlines the most common problems
which businesses have to contend with on a daily basis and it teaches students how
to recognise these problems and more importantly, how to deal with them.
