It is not uncommon for businesses to incur expenses which are then recharged or recovered from local or overseas persons. However, the question of whether GST applies to such recharges of expenses continues to present risks and create confusion for many businesses. This would potentially give rise to errors and incorrect GST reporting which leads to penalty implications.
Join us in our seminar to understand whether the recharge of expense constitutes a reimbursement (taxable) or a disbursement (not taxable). We will also examine the circumstances in which cross-border recharges of expenses can be treated as zero-rated “international services”.
Key Topics:
- What constitutes a taxable reimbursement
- What is a payment truly a “payment on behalf” (disbursement)
- Recovery of expenses as principal vs agent
- Recharging expenses with mark-up or no mark-up
- When do cross-border recharges qualify as “international services"
Refreshments will be provided. All food items arranged by The Westin will contain no pork or lard.
