GST Return Filing

Reconcile supplies and tax records before preparing periodic GST returns.

Overview

Reconcile supplies and tax records before preparing periodic GST returns. Start by identifying the purpose, reporting period and intended users of the work. BIAT can assess the available records and propose an engagement with defined responsibilities and deliverables.

Scope of support

  • Sales, purchase and tax-credit reconciliation
  • Return preparation and exception follow-up
  • Acknowledgement and calendar maintenance

Records to prepare

Use this starting checklist to prepare for a discussion. The final evidence requirements are confirmed after the initial assessment.

  • GST registrations and filing periods
  • Sales, purchase and credit-note data
  • Prior returns and tax-payment records

Deliverables and engagement planning

The gst return filing scope identifies the output, review steps and information required from your team. Where a filing, report or certificate needs an eligible professional, that role is confirmed before the engagement proceeds. The proposal records fees, exclusions, dependencies and target milestones. Authority review, incomplete records or changes to the request can affect timing.

FAQ

Questions to help you scope the engagement.
Can reconciliation be done before filing?

Yes. Reconciliation identifies differences that need clarification or correction. Filing responsibilities and approval of the final return are agreed in the engagement.
