The tax department’s analytics department has seen these differences inside the returns furnished through the firms. The GST platform permits the firms to set off their future tax liability with respect to the GST furnished through them on the raw materials urged from the suppliers.
Under the GST platform both the supplier and the organization who supplies need to upload the GST forms on the website of the tax council. The tax council then matches the GST furnished with the availed tax credit.
Many a time there is a mismatch amid the number uploaded through the supplier and the tax credit availed through the firm. Upon the concern, the tax council could not accept the tax credit availed for the complete transaction. There are few legal experts who suggest the firms that have got these notices mentioned that towards the firms various times the notices have been furnished.
“As per the process, the adjudicating authority ought to have first scrutinised the returns and served notice in case there was any discrepancy or mismatch. This would have given the assessee an opportunity to undertake rectification if required. Only if there was a failure on the part of the assessee to rectify the discrepancy or mismatch, should the assessing officer have issued a show-cause notice under GST, said the tax expert.”
