Indirect Tax

Goods & Services Tax (GST)

Since its introduction in July 2017, GST has become the largest source of revenue generation for the Government. A truly path breaking reform, GST was introduced by subsuming other Indirect Taxes such as VAT, Excise, etc. in order to minimize the cascading effect of taxes.

While on the one hand the procedures have, over the years, been simplified and harmonised, with the passage of time, there has been a gradual but continuous increase in litigation.

Since the entire procedure has been computerized and automated, there is no room for making any errors, as it would entail adverse financial implications for the business. Further, in a scenario where the GST laws are still evolving, with clarifications and amendments coming intermittently, it is imperative for all businesses to be abreast of all these changes.

The automation of the process for complying with GST has, in turn, put the onus on businesses to automate the process for capturing of GST related information so that it is harmonious with the compliance process laid down by the authorities.
