One evening on GST that paid for a year of desk
Priya had been GST-registered for two years, filed every return, and never once claimed the GST she paid at the border. The August masterclass fixed that in an hour.
Priya came for the underground parking. She says this without embarrassment: in December, moving cases of product between a car and a building in a surface lot is a business risk. She stayed for the room.
The August finance masterclass was, by her account, the evening that paid for her year. She had registered for GST two years earlier because a retailer wanted a GST number on the invoice, and she had filed every return since. What she had never done was put the GST she paid at the border on the input-tax-credit line, because nobody had told her it belonged there. Registrants have four years to claim. The accountant in the room walked her through adjusting the returns; the credits covered her desk for the year with change.
I came for the underground parking. I stayed for the room.
She has since taken over the bakery rota for Pastries & products, which is why there is now a rota and why October’s bakery is her pick.
Come and stand in it.
Nobody rents a desk they have not sat at. Twenty minutes on the floor, no pitch. If it fits what you are building, you will already know.
