FAQ :

The primary reason for GST show-cause notices in 2023-24 was data discrepancies in tax return filings.

Nearly 1.13 lakh show-cause notices were issued to taxpayers under the GST regime in 2023-24.

No, most disputes were linked to data verification issues, with only 555 notices related to classification disputes on tax rates.

Examples include short payment of GST in GSTR-3B compared to GSTR-1, excess input tax credit claimed in GSTR-3B compared to GSTR-2A, and non-payment of GST under the reverse charge mechanism.

The CBIC is leveraging technology, including a new ledger system being developed by the GST Network, to track reverse charge liabilities and minimize disputes.

The aim is to minimize disputes and reduce the compliance burden for taxpayers.
