FAQ :
The main goal is to ensure that annual GST revenue, as estimated by the government, promptly accrues to the public exchequer and to improve compliance management systems.
The audit mechanism will be improved through systematic examination of taxpayer records, including physical visits to business premises to understand practices and review internal controls, particularly for top taxpayers and high-yielding cases.
Thematic Audit involves selecting specific themes or issues within prominent business sectors for in-depth analysis to identify revenue implications across the state, coordinated by state and national committees.
The AMC will review initial audit objections in periodical meetings to assess their sustainability and correctness, aiming to reduce disputes and filter out unproductive issues before audit reports are finalised.
Data from sources like GST Prime, E-way bill analytics, GSTN BIFA, and the Local Intelligence Network will be effectively used to contribute to overall organisational performance and improve GST audit outcomes.
