GST Appeal Withdrawal Process Simplified: Key Update for Waiver Scheme Applicants



Quick Summary
The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has updated the process for taxpayers applying under the waiver scheme. While the withdrawal option for appeal applications (APL 01) filed before the First Appellate Authority is available on the GST portal, a new procedure is in place for those filed before March 21, 2023. For these older applications, taxpayers must submit a withdrawal request to their concerned Appellate Authority, who will then liaise with GSTN for backend processing.

2.  It is to inform that both Forms GST SPL 01 and GST SPL 02 are available in the GST portal and the taxpayers are advised to file applications under waiver scheme.

3.  One of the eligible conditions for filing application under waiver scheme is to withdraw the appeal applications filed against the demand order/notice/statement for which waiver application is to be submitted. In this regard, it is to inform that for the appeal applications (APL 01) filed before First Appellate authority, withdrawal option is already available in the GST portal. However, for the appeal applications (APL 01) filed before 21.03.2023, withdrawal option is not available in GST portal. For such cases, the taxpayers are advised to submit their request for withdrawal of appeal applications to the concerned Appellate Authority. The Appellate authority will forward such requests to GSTN through State Nodal officer for withdrawal of such appeal applications (i.e. filed before 21.03.2023 and not disposed off) from backend.
