Reviewing and approving your GST return

Afirmo prepares your GST return using the transactions recorded and categorised for the GST period.

Before sending it to Afirmo for review:

1. Open the GST return for the relevant period.

2. Review the summary, including sales, purchases, GST collected, GST credits and the resulting payment or refund.

3. Review the underlying transactions and any questions from the Afirmo tax team.

4. Save any changes.

5. Use the separate review-submission process to send the completed return to Afirmo.

6. Answer the review questions and submit them to the tax team.

Saving the return alone does not send it to Afirmo for review.

The Afirmo tax team will review the information, contact you if anything needs clarification and file the completed return with Inland Revenue. Submit your information early enough for the return to be reviewed and filed by its due date.

GST returns do not receive the standard tax-agent extension available for some income tax returns.
