Programme Synopsis

A GST registered supplier is obliged to collect the GST paid by its purchaser and pay the GST to the Comptroller of Goods and Services Tax (CGST).

The recent Draft Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill 2020 (the “Draft Bill”) authorises the CGST to deny input tax claims by suppliers in the supply chain who are not directly involved in MTF and the law introduced by the Draft Bill is expected to come into effect on 1 January 2021.

In this seminar, expert speaker Liu Hern Kuan, who currently represents clients affected by MTF, will outline legal and practical issues surrounding MTF and carousal fraud, including when a supplier knew or ought to have known that a supply was part of a fraudulent arrangement under the current law and under the new framework.
