Indirect Taxes & Customs (VAT, Sales Tax, Customs Duty)

AMY Training Institute | Taxation Courses

Master VAT, Sales Tax & Customs Compliance — Learn Import/Export Tax Rules, Documentation & Practical Business Applications

Indirect taxes affect business pricing, profitability, and compliance daily — especially in trading, import/export, e-commerce, and manufacturing sectors. Unlike direct taxes, indirect taxes are applied on transactions, goods movement, and service supply, and they require strong documentation and correct tax treatment to avoid penalties.

The Indirect Taxes & Customs program at AMY Training Institute is designed to train learners in the most in-demand practical skill areas of modern business taxation: VAT, Sales Tax principles, and Customs Duty compliance.

This program is ideal for:

• Pakistan-based learners targeting jobs in taxation and compliance

• UAE-based finance and operations professionals working in trading companies

• import/export business owners and supply chain managers

• accountants and consultants handling VAT and customs documentation

• entrepreneurs doing international trading and logistics

• students aiming to build practical business tax skills

This track is especially valuable for trading businesses because most penalties happen due to weak documentation and incorrect tax classification.
