GST : Registration Particular

Everybody become more aware that registration actually starts on 1st June 2014. So far not many people have attended the GST talks, which might cost above RM500 per person which is claimable under HRDF.

For a smaller business, it could be a high price for a seminar, considered it as an expensive talk. Anyhow, registration has started. There is an urgency for saying "must register before 31 December 2014", which I might suspect, there would be a delay on processing due to many unforeseen and foreseen circumstances which delay company to obtain a GST ID number.

To avoid such unnecessary delay, 6 months is quite a sufficient time to get things ready, especially GST ID to appear in the Tax invoices and to appoint authorized person to handle GST beside own boss him/herself.
