This is a one-day workshop covering two distinct GST topics: IRAS GST Audit focus area in the morning (AM) and troubleshooting 2023 GST Rate Change Implementation Challenges in the afternoon (PM).
This topical and timely practical workshop will explain and address IRAS current GST audit focus area which is the GST control systems implemented by GST registered businesses (“GRB”). IRAS identified this to be the root cause for operational concerns and gaps that is contributing to incorrect GST reporting and heavy penalties payable to IRAS. In the recent FY 2021/2022, IRAS GST revenue collection was $12.6b. This is a 22% hike from the previous year!
Additionally, this workshop will examine and evaluate typical concerns and address practical question(s) in the implementation of the 2023 GST rate change and will prepare GRB for the next proposed GST rate calibration from 8% to 9% starting from 1 January 2024.
This unique workshop format offers you the option to attend either the AM or PM session.
