How to generate GAF (GST Audit File) Report

Businesses registered for GST may be required by JKDM (Jabatan Kastam Diraja Malaysia) to produce the GAF (GST Audit File) report at anytime to verify compliance with their requirements. Using an accounting/tax software like MYOB will help greatly with this onerous requirement and will greatly save you time and hassles. To generate the GAF report, open MYOB to get to the Command Center > Accounting module > click GENERATE GAF

On clicking DISK, you will then be able to save the GAF report in your computer. However, note that this file will be saved in a format which you will be unable to view. The GAF file need to be sent to the tax authority (in Malaysia case, it will be the Malaysian Custom or Jabatan Kastam Diraja Malaysia) and only them will be able to decode it to read and check.
