There have been some developments in the GST practice recently. The government is considering pre-filled consolidated GST return forms on the lines of Annual Information Statement (AIS) feature used by the Income tax department, which will allow taxpayers to view all their transaction details and E-invoices to arrive at exact tax liabilities.
The consolidated pre-filled form, being readied by Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), will also come with an e-verification feature to settle any discrepancies in data ahead of the filing of return, reducing the scope of any error.
Further, there have been media reports that thousands of companies have been created on fake Aadhar and PAN cards and these shell companies have done transactions of GST worth thousands of crores, as was found in government investigations.
In the light of evolving GST scenario, it is very important for the IT business leaders to keep themselves updated with the latest GST laws and to practise GST in accordance with the law. Such open forum as organised by CMDA Mumbai is of use to is association members.
