GST return (GST101) or GST and provisional tax return (GST103)
About this service
This service is the same as completing the Goods and services tax return (GST101) or the GST and provisional tax return (GST103). There are 3 pages and an extra page to file your provisional tax (if applicable). The pages use the same numbering system as the paper-based returns, ie 9 on the online return relates to 9 on the paper-based return.
