When to consider this service
Business owners and functional leaders responsible for a defined operating, technology or people-management requirement can use this service to clarify a particular issue. A useful starting question is: “Can GST analysis replace a customs review for an import?” Begin with the facts behind that question rather than assuming that a standard package will resolve it.
Scope of work
The engagement can cover the following workstreams. The proposal specifies which apply to your matter and what evidence or specialist input is needed.
- Identify transaction taxes and their interaction.
- Review invoicing credits and import-export evidence.
- Coordinate compliance dispute and advisory priorities.
Documents and information to prepare
Start with the records below where available. They help establish the facts before a more specific checklist is agreed.
- Contracts.
- Invoices.
- Customs records.
- Tax reconciliations.
Provide the relevant entity, transaction or reporting period and any existing notice or deadline. Identify missing or inconsistent records so they can be addressed explicitly.
A key issue to resolve
Each levy has its own taxable event and evidence; one tax analysis may not settle the treatment under another regime.
How the engagement works
- Define the question: identify transaction taxes and their interaction, using the available contracts and the facts you provide.
- Examine the evidence: review invoicing credits and import-export evidence. Record unresolved information and the assumptions that affect the analysis.
- Agree the action: coordinate compliance dispute and advisory priorities. Set the required deliverables, responsible owners and any follow-up or external dependency.
Deliverables, fees and timing
The proposal for Indirect Tax sets out the analysis, documentation or coordination deliverables and the work you retain. The availability of contracts, invoices, customs records and tax reconciliations affects readiness and the amount of follow-up needed. Fees and the working schedule are agreed after that initial assessment. Any required independent report, legal representation or authority application is identified as a separate responsibility where relevant.
