“ Know us know GST; No us No GST”
10 Basics to understand while addressing to any Notice from the GST Department*_.
6️⃣ Make sure to appear on the day of the personal hearing. If an AR will appear on taxpayer behalf, ensure that his/her name is updated on the GST Portal.
He/She should also carry authorization from taxpayer along with his/her ID proof. Taxpayer should also instruct the AR to give statements only when it is extremely necessarily and to reply to questions only when he/she is completely sure about the answers.
7️⃣ If possible, always remain in touch with the GST Department. Talk to the Officer politely and humbly while placing your arguments. Your arguments and statements should be supported with corroborative evidence linked to the case.
Don't get irritated even when you know that you are correct and the Officer is confusing some of the facts. Ask him/her to note down your arguments in the note sheet.
8️⃣ Always sign the note sheet whenever you appear in person or are being instructed to appear.
9️⃣ Never hesitate in asking the Officer to give Relied Upon Document (RUD), calculation sheet and information of the allegation made in the Notice.
1️⃣0️⃣ If you believe that you are not competent enough to handle the Notice independently, take assistance and guidance from a competent GST EXPERT and a reliable GST Consultant.
