GST Intermediate is the most highly demanded GST seminar, and we know the reason why.

POINT ONE : UNIQUE CONTENT, OUTSTANDING SPEAKER Other GST seminar focus on just scratching the surface of “what is GST”, we specifically design this seminar to be practical in nature. We focus on not just “what is GST”, also on “how to implement GST”.

His experience as member of Malaysia tax review board is invaluable.
