UPDATE [03/09/10]: This event is now closed for applications.
UPDATE [29/07/10]: As interest and recruitment for the Osaka event has been very low this year we have taken the decision to cancel the Osaka event in its originally planned format.
However, if you would still like to visit Osaka in early October to carry out recruitment activities, British Council Osaka will be happy to arrange appointments to visit Japanese Universities, Study Abroad Agents and other educational institutions. If you are interested in this then please contact Tom Mayes at tom.mayes@britishcouncil.or.jp.
Please note that the Tokyo event is still taking place.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
