Preventing the cascading effect of prevailing consumption taxes is often cited as an important reason for introducing GST in Malaysia. Implications of GST on Accounting and Preparation of Financial Statements 24 October 2014 Swiss Garden Hotel & Residences, Kuala Lumpur Whilst many businesses are in the midst of preparing for compliance with GST rules, it must be acknowledged that GST affects the way accounting is done. Particularly important is how GST affects the вЂ�double entriesвЂ™ for many transactions, compliance with the GST Act inevitably requires accounts to be finalised promptly at the end of each quarter / month and the creation of new GST-related accounts that must be reported in the financial statements. As the local accounting standards are silent about GST accounts, this course will draw references from foreign jurisdictions wherever necessary. Understanding and Applying the 24 Malaysian GST Tax Codes For the Preparation GST-03 Tax Return & GST Audit File (GAF) 30 October 2014 Swiss Garden Hotel & Residences, Kuala Lumpur GST is a transactional indirect tax whereby the tax return is compiled on a day-to-day basis by your accounts or data processing department. Each transaction requires a GST tax code, even for transactions outside of the GST scope. Accountants and Accounts Executives involved in the preparation of monthly accounts must be sufficiently prepared and understand when to correctly apply these tax codes to ensure that the required GST returns are tabulated correctly and reconciled before submission to Royal Malaysian Customs Department. Goods & Services Tax (GST) Implementation for Oil & Gas Industry 7 & 8 October 2014 Connexion@Nexus, Bangsar South, Kuala Lumpur GST: Practical issues Facing Corporate Accountants Malaysia has officially announced the implementation of the Goods & Services Tax (GST) to be effective on 1 Apr 2015. This significantly impacts the operations and cost structure of the oil and gas industry; particularly the inventory and cash flow management due to timing differences in GST return versus payable to or claimable from government. 28 October 2014 Swiss Garden Hotel & Residences, Kuala Lumpur Getting to Know GST Essentials The GST Act 2014 was gazetted on 19 June 2014 and a series of Ministerial orders and regulations have been gazetted since then. The practical application of these rules may sometime result in unforeseen or undesired tax inefficient positions unless sufficient risk assessment and tax planning is undertaken. While it is not possible to outline an exhaustive list of tax inefficient practices, this course attempts to identify the more common ones and, wherever possible, explain the possible tax-efficient alternatives. Strategic Business Realignment in Light of GST 31 October 2014 Swiss Garden Hotel & Residences, Kuala Lumpur Goods and Services Tax (GST) will be effective starting 1 April 2015.

This course adopts a unique multi-disciplinary approach towards the implementation of GST. It would be a jargon-less, hands-on course that highlights the effects of GST on various functions of an organisation.

However, many companies and business owners are clueless about how the GST works, how it impacts their business and what they need to do to ensure their processes and software will be GST-ready. As GST will impact every business unit within the organisation, the general perception that it is the sole responsibility of accountants and the director/CFO may not seem right. Instead, it is important that all levels of staff are trained and have at least the minimum comprehension on GST law as well as the transitional regulations. 20 UNDERSTANDING AND APPLYING THE 24 MALAYSIAN GST TAX CODES 6 & 7 November 2014 Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar This two-day course will help you to gain a clear understanding of the GST model, mechanism, systems and infrastructure requirements as well as the practical issues and common pitfalls to be avoided which are vital for a successful transition into GST.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a multi stage tax on domestic consumption of goods and services. GST is expected to be implemented beginning April 2015 and will impact businesses at all levels including the human resource function. This oneday workshop will provide guidance and opportunities to learn, understand, apply and manage the GST issues relevant to an employment situation.
