Keeping your Eye on the Ball: 2003 National GST Intensive
Published on 10 Oct 2003 | Took place at Manly Pacific, Sydney, National
The Australian GST is now in its fourth year. Transitional problems have been mainly resolved, the legislation has largely been bedded down and experience over the three full years of its operation has allowed us to see the real problem areas more clearly. Some of these were obscured by our need to solve the pressing problems of implementation. Some of them have emerged from the implementation process.
This seminar brought together a number of highly qualified speakers, from universities, the accounting and legal world to share their experience and knowledge over a broad range of issues.
The program was as diverse as the issues are, covering significant areas such as financial supplies, insolvency, cross border issues, partnerships and trusts and the impact of the legislation where governments Federal, State and local are involved.
