GST Essentials 2026 – Complacency Can Be Costly (live webinar)

GST is part of everyday life in New Zealand.  Being so much a part of everything we do in business, the essentials of this tax are often overlooked or taken for granted.  In most cases the GST impact of a transaction is straight-forward. 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.

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
• The GST accounting methods and periods

Upon satisfactory completion of this webinar, you will be able to:

• identify and apply the GST rules
• articulate the essentials of GST
• appreciate GST implications that apply to issues encountered every day

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.
