Do you need a Certificate of Compliance (COC) for your business? Do you meet all the requirements for the COC?
The Internal Revenue Commission (IRC) of Papua New Guinea (PNG) has tightened up the process of issuing Certificate Of Compliance (COC) to both small-medium-enterprise (SME) and large enterprises. This is due to non-compliance to payment of tax liabilities and lodge annual tax returns.
The IRC have initiated a number of measures such as switching off or offsetting of unverified Goods & Services Tax (GST) credits against Salary & Wage Tax (SWT), establishing a vetting process for GST refund and credit offsets, mandatory suppliers’ listings, mandatory returns review process, risk based audit and enforcement.
Important Questions
Before you lodge your COC application, below are few questions that you need to ask or check before you go to your nearest IRC office:
- Have all Corporate Income Tax Return been paid and returns lodged?
- Have all GST levied paid and returns lodged?
- Have all Business Income Payment Tax levied been paid?
- Have all Salary & Wages Tax levied been paid and returns / remittances lodged?
Eligible businesses for COC
The following industries below are qualified for payment of work
- Building and construction, including repairs, painting, fitting of building furniture and any other building or construction activity
- Road transport of any goods or materials
- Repair or maintenance of motor vehicles or any motor vehicles component, including painting, panel beating etc.
- Construction of any items of joinery which will become a fixture in any building
