COMPLIANCE WITH RETURNS

Compliance With Returns

Under the current indirect tax regime, a taxpayer is obligated to file multiple returns under various statutes which could be manual/online filing. Reporting the same transaction repeatedly in varying formats to multiple authorities has only proven to be cumbersome to the tax payers.

In a move towards 'Ease of Doing Business', GST regime is knocking out the multiplicity of return compliance and moving towards paperless tax compliance. Returns under GST envisage that tax payers will freeze the actual credit eligibility and impending tax liability after due co-ordination between the customers and vendors respectively.
