GST is part of everyday life in New Zealand. Being so much part of everything we do in business, the essentials of this tax are often taken for granted or overlooked. In most cases the GST impact of a transaction is straightforward. In some cases a lack of understanding of these essentials can lead to costly mistakes.

This webinar will provide a clear analysis of the essentials of the legislation and will give attendees the tools they need to work with GST. It will review the new rules for GST documentation and record keeping.

Specifically we will cover: 

• The difference between taxable and zero-rated supplies
• Going concerns 
• What a supply is
• Exempt supplies
• The requirements for registration
• What constitutes a “taxable activity”
• How to determine the value and time of a supply
• Documentation & record keeping
• The GST accounting methods and periods

Suited to:

This is an introduction to GST and would best suit anybody beginning work in an accountancy practice or a financial position within a business. It would also be a great refresher for those who have worked with GST for some time.
