(2) The New GST Withholding Regime: Key Issues in Practice

• Scope and operation of the new GST withholding provision – what does it mean in practice for practitioners?

• Special conditions to include in your contracts

• E-conveyancing and ATO payments – how do the two work in practice?

• How should developers be documenting margin scheme calculations?

• Protections available to practitioners when things go wrong
