WHILE OTHERS STRUGGLE TO LEARN UP ON GST RISK: YOU ARE NOT ONLY AWARE OF THE RISK, YOU ALSO HAVE SOLUTIONS AND VARIOUS

GST PLANNING IDEAS AT YOUR DISPOSAL

“

STAY AHEAD OF THE CROWD INTRODUCTION The goods and services tax (GST) is opera onal effec ve on 1 April 2015, which will be approximately 10 months away from now. The Malaysian GST model is business friendly, broad consump on based which leads to stable and constant revenue collec on for the government to restore the federal surplus

COST HIKE IS NOT SOLELY DUE TO GST’S INPUT TAX The GST in its ini al years will increase the cost of doing business in most industry.

The increased costs will be mainly on so ware acquisi on, hardware upgrades, training of employees, recruitment of dedicated staffs to administer the GST opera on, documenta on and lastly, professional fees in support of this implementa on.

In addi on, salaries, EPF, bonuses for engaging extra scarcity human capital for GST compliance, providing required training to these personnel will lead to efficient and effec ve growth of business.

The acquisi on of hardware and modifica on of so ware to accommodate the claim of GST input tax and accountability for GST output tax, submission of GST returns, quarterly payment of GST to the government, keeping GST records for seven years, facilita ng GST audit to prepare for GST appeal, and being accountable for penal es where required are risks that cannot be ignored.

DUTY TO PAY DOES NOT ONLY LIE ON CONSUMER Although GST theore cally is paid by the consumer and collected by the business operator, failure to accommodate the GST well within the system will add to the GST cost, as it has to be prepaid to the government prior to sales on accrual basis. Worse yet, the cost may s ll be the responsibility of the business operator due to some specific circumstances as seen in industry that is designed as exempt supply.
