Conference
National GST Conference
17-18 October 2024 | W Melbourne
Australia's pre-eminent event for GST practitioners
Increased petrol prices, replacing stamp duty, the national budget deficit after COVID-19 and the rising cost of living - it's no secret that GST is hot news. And why is it that luxury car modifications can be GST-free as medical aid, but COVID-19 face masks remain taxable? The GST is an indirect tax that affects all areas of business including financial reporting, stakeholder management, market competition, product development and pricing. Making sense of GST rulings and law can be complex and requires input from the profession, industry and government.
Industry experts and an expansive technical program
This excellent conference held over two days will address a range of topical content including financial supplies, property, recent High Court cases, insolvency, international comparisons, classifications, notional GST, plus much more.
Who should attend?
A must-attend event for all GST practitioners and corporate advisory specialists.
Network, network, network
Our specialist conferences are designed to allow delegates the time to enjoy robust technical discussions with colleagues and incorporate several opportunities throughout for attendees to mingle with peers and presenters. Each conference program includes dedicated networking functions for attendees to connect with like-minded members of the profession and discuss the latest issues in tax and beyond.
