Filing GST through our gateway services

The GST application programming interface (API) lets businesses:

• file returns in real time
• amend returns
• retrieve a return due date
• query return status
• retrieve previously filed returns.

When a GST return is filed, the difference between the amount of GST collected and paid needs to be worked out. Any software built will need to include this function.

Take a look at our GST software developer kit (SDK) or find out more about GST and the filing requirements.
