Introduction

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a comprehensive indirect tax that has replaced multiple indirect taxes in India. It is designed to streamline taxation, improve transparency, and create a uniform tax structure across the country. However, GST compliance can be complex, and businesses must ensure they adhere to legal requirements to avoid penalties.

 

Key Aspects of GST

1. GST Registration – Businesses must register under GST if their turnover exceeds the prescribed threshold.
2. GST Returns Filing – Regular filing of GST returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9, etc.) is mandatory for businesses.
3. Input Tax Credit (ITC) – Businesses can claim ITC on purchases, reducing their tax liability.
4. GST Compliance & Audits – Authorities conduct periodic audits to ensure businesses follow GST laws.
5. E-Way Bill System – A mandatory system for the movement of goods exceeding a specified value.

Legal Challenges in GST Compliance

1. Incorrect Filing of Returns
   • Errors in GST returns can lead to penalties, interest, and legal notices.
2. GST Notices & Litigation
   • Businesses may receive notices from tax authorities for discrepancies, fraud detection, or non-compliance.
3. Input Tax Credit Disputes
   • Disallowed ITC claims can lead to financial loss and legal complications.
4. GST Rate Classification Issues
   • Misclassification of goods/services can result in incorrect tax payments and disputes.
