The Centre is expected to soon notify rules for setting up GST appellate tribunals. This was announced by a senior CBIC official on Monday, July 3, 2023. The official said that the rules will be notified after approval from the GST Council.
The GST appellate tribunals will be set up to hear appeals against orders passed by the GST authorities. Currently, taxpayers have to appeal against GST orders in the High Courts. However, this can be a lengthy and expensive process. The setting up of GST appellate tribunals will provide taxpayers with a quicker and more affordable way to appeal against GST orders.
The GST appellate tribunals will be headed by a chairperson who will be appointed by the President of India. The other members of the tribunals will be appointed by the GST Council. The tribunals will have the power to hear appeals against orders passed by the GST authorities on a wide range of matters, including assessment, refunds, and appeals against penalty orders.
The setting up of GST appellate tribunals is a welcome move. It will provide taxpayers with a more effective way to challenge GST orders and will help to ensure that the GST regime is fair and transparent.
Here are some of the benefits of setting up GST appellate tribunals
- It will provide taxpayers with a quicker and more affordable way to appeal against GST orders.
- It will help to ensure that the GST regime is fair and transparent.
- It will reduce the burden on the High Courts.
