This discussion addresses the liability of a GST practitioner when a hotel owner fails to pay GST collected over a year, preventing corporate clients from claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC). The practitioner has advised the owner, but the owner plans to shut down the business and refuses to pay. The consensus is that the practitioner is not liable in this scenario, even if an employee's phone number was used to obtain the GST number, as the employee would also not be liable.
