GOODS AND SERVICES TAX
FOR COMPANY SECRETARIES
2 MARCH 2015, MON ■ 09.00AM-05.00PM ■ BANGUNAN MAICSA, KUALA LUMPUR
INTRODUCTION
GST which is a broad based consumption tax
covering all sectors of the economy, is levied on
the supply of goods and services at each stage
of the supply chain from the supplier up to the
retail stage of the distribution. There is a
common misunderstanding that businesses will
suffer a higher cost of goods once GST is
implemented.
GST for Company Secretaries are for secretarial
practices who provide company secretarial and
related services and who are required to be a
“registered person” under the Goods & Services
Tax Act, 2014.
GST does not become part of the cost of
rendering the secretarial or related services
because GST- incurred inputs are claimable no
matter how many stages a particular service
goes through the supply chain. The input tax
incurred by a Company Secretarial practice is
deducted by the registered secretarial practice
when the practice renders the services to the
client. This is the same with imported services.
Disbursements and reimbursements under GST
have specific meanings and cannot be used
interchangeably due to the GST implications of
each.
