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.

Venue and destination

In 2023, the GST Conference will be held at InterContinental Sydney. It’s a great opportunity to return to in person events and reconnect with colleagues and peers from across the profession.
