GST Act Amendments May Be Discussed in Parliament
What happened
The GST Council plans to rely more on technology than officer intervention to prevent fake invoices and fraudulent input tax credit claims. Proposed changes to the return-filing mechanism would require taxpayers to pay the tax declared as payable when the corresponding credit is passed on to recipients. Amendments to the GST Act may be taken up during Parliament’s winter session, with reforms related to registration and refunds expected to be implemented from November 1.
