      It has been almost a year since the Special Method for input tax recovery took effect for MAS‑licensed banks. While some banks have moved ahead with implementation, others have adopted a cautious, wait‑and‑see approach. The Special Method can deliver meaningful input tax savings; however, as a new and relatively untested framework, it can be challenging to interpret and operationalise.

      If you are considering a review but unsure where to begin, join our session as we break down the key rules and practical considerations for banks assessing the Special Method.

      What we’ll cover:

      • How the Special Method works: Core features and mechanics, including the output‑based/sectoral approach, appropriate cost drivers and proxies
      • Planning and implementation: Practical considerations, data requirements, governance and steps to run a robust Special Method review

      Why Attend?

      Designed for tax and finance professionals in the banking sector, this webinar provides a structured path to evaluate and apply the Special Method. Our Financial Services Indirect Tax specialists, Praveena Naidu and
      Lina Koh, will unpack the framework for banks: how it works, what to consider in an initial assessment, and the practical steps to kick‑start your review, followed by a live Q&A.
