Indirect Taxation

Managing indirect tax compliance by a business has been very complex in India due to multiple laws, sub ordinate legislation (rules, notifications, circulars) driven compliance and frequent amendments therein. Though the GST has subsumed multiple indirect tax laws, the compliance need is high. All periodical returns, statements, intimations, notices and reply to such notices would be automated in GST. The credit matching concept in GST is a significant task and credit not matched could result in denial of credit. Therefore, it is important for the organizations to ensure error free compliance.
