Education UK exhibition Nigeria

13 to 17 February 2012

UPDATE [21/11/11]: This exhibition has reached capacity and already has a large wait list and so we are no longer accepting applications.

Please note that a 20% security contingency has been included in the price for the Abuja venue. The price quoted represents the maximum an institution will pay. This figure may reduce depending on the security measures that need to be put in place on the day of the exhibition.

The contingency has been put in place due to the security concerns following the bomb attack on the UN building in the diplomatic sector in Abuja on 26 August 2011. We will continue to monitor the situation in Abuja and ensure any further developments are communicated in the lead up to the exhibition.

VAT
From 1 January 2010 HMRC implemented changes to the way VAT is to be collected and charged, specifically in relation to VAT treatment of cross-border services.  VAT is now payable on the added-value UK customer management element of all Education UK Exhibitions taking place outside of the EU. In order that VAT be apportioned it will now be necessary to separate the UK management element out accordingly.

The exhibition invoice will display two lines:  

1. The first line will detail the overseas costs of the exhibition (venue hire, equipment hire, local promotion, local staff costs etc.) and will not be VAT-able.
2. The second line will detail the UK costs of the exhibition (recruitment, administration, UK promotion etc.) and will be VAT-able.

This cost for UK management has always been in place, the only difference being that prior to these changes it was included as part of the holistic pricing model for each exhibition.  

Please see the HM Revenue and Customs website for further details.
