GST Risks & Controls Series: How to Review Your GST Returns?

Our experience has shown that if the GST return Reviewer knows how and what to look out for during the quarterly GST reporting, a substantial part of the GST errors can be detected before the filing of the GST returns.

Join us for the seminar where our tax director will share his “Cheat Sheet” of more than 50 detective controls that can be implemented during the review of the GST return.

The seminar will cover the following topics:

• GST reporting risks as per IRAS Assisted Compliance Assurance Programme
• Detective controls at GST reporting
  • Standard-rated supplies
  • Zero-rated supplies
  • Exempt supplies
  • Taxable purchase and input tax
  • Imports under Major Exporter Scheme (MES)
  • Reverse Charge
• Recent GST Updates 

Take-Aways

• At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Learn how to review the GST returns effectively
• Identify the common errors picked up by the IRAS during their audit
• Obtain a copy of the “Cheat Sheet” to help you detect GST errors
