A tax ultimately borne by the consumer. Overcomes cascading along the supply chain. A tax that creates churn, because of its multi-staged nature.

4. You Want To Act now
GST will only come in effect on 1 April 2015. However, your business cannot procrastinate and wait until last minute to act. Experience from other countries who has implemented GST shoes that the range of tax, legal, cash flow, pricing, systems and training issues that must be addressed in transitioning to a new GST regime are usually both considerable and often time-consuming.
At such, your planning and early preparation is vital, as the introduction of a GST is a whole-of-business change, and bear in mind that most taxpayers will need to register by Wednesday 31 December 2014.
Today, the Malaysia government is expecting about 300,000 taxpayers to register for the GST – and currently less than 80,00 have actually registered. Penalties are applicable to late registration also.
Why risk your business and the directors to be penalised for late registration when you can act now and attend iTrainingExpert’s quality GST course to get ahead and start the GST implementation process?
