My company issued invoice to a customer on 27/3 for a website & mobile apps (games).

The problem is the customer wants to pay monthly installments till Dec 2015.

Is that acceptable for us not to charge GST effective on 1st April?

Regards.

If the apps has been delivered and invoiced before 01/04/15, then no GST is chargeable, even if payment is received after 01/04/15.

The apps is still in the making- it's the first phase of a project.
It will be completed in 5- 6 months.

The customer wants to avoid GST so, we invoice in full.
Is that acceptable?

Regards.

Section 183(2) (Transitional Provisions) of the GST Act 2014: where any payment is made or invoice is issued for a supply of goods or services that will be made on or after the effective date (01/04/15), GST is applicable and has to be account for on an inclusive basis in the first taxable period.

This is an anti-avoidance provision - to prevent people from trying to avoid paying tax.

Penalty is a fine not exceeding RM30,000 or imprisonment not exceeding 2 years or both.

If sales tax or service tax has been collected, then no need to account for GST.

Thank you for the reply, Joseph.

Another thing, we purchases services from overseas by credit card for business purpose.
What tax code to use and how to account reverse charge mechanism?
Pls advise.

Regards.

Sorry, you don't account for GST Output Tax because GST has to be paid directly to Customs upon clearance of the goods, as reflected in the above accounting entries.

Is it included services too, even where there's no customs (import, excise duty) involved?
Something like buy games apps from Apple or Dropbox/Email service..
For eg,
A purchases online services USD10 (RM35) monthly from overseas for IT business purpose. There is no physical goods/stocks or customs involved.
A accounts: DR purchases RM35
DR Input tax 6% RM2.10
CR Bank RM35
CR Input tax 6% RM2.10 (contra input tax??)

I'm confused as the customs guidelines says we have to pay GST on overseas purchases.
Do we have to report GST, self include GST in this purchases?

Hi Joseph,

Referring to the above post, your treatment sounds like there's no GST involved.
It's basically recording it as output tax and then input tax- contra with each other.

Yes, that's how reverse charge mechanism works.

If you are GST-registered and the imported service is attributable to  taxable supply, then net GST effect is zero.

If you are not GST-registered or the imported service is attributable to exempt supply, then you account for output tax, but cannot claim input tax.

Thanks, Joseph.

Wish to check with you on this:
An employee paid overseas purchases by credit card on 26/4 and by the end of month, the company pays back to the employee on 5/5.
Which date triggers the time of supply?

Time of supply is when Customs charge you GST & customs duty on your oversea purchases.

Joseph, can I account the imported services as N-T/ OP since the net GST effect is zero? I find it a bit redundant.

No, you have to account for output tax and claim input tax separately.

So, I have to create a new account for IMPORTED SERVICES and do the general journal entries.

Can I sum it all in one month because my services costs between RM10 - RM800 per month?
These purchases are made by credit card & don't involve tax invoice.
Can I use credit card statement as a proof?
