GST Assessment

The phrase “assessment” under GST refers to a determination of tax due under this Act, which includes self-assessment, re-assessment, provisional assessment, summary assessment, and best judgment assessment. Persons with GST registration typically file GST returns and pay GST monthly based on self-assessment of GST liability. However, the government reserves the right to re-assess or conduct an evaluation on its own to determine if there is a short payment of GST.
