Speaking on the occasion, Jaitley lauded the efforts of the officials associated in the preparation of the booklet.
He complimented Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) for taking the initiative in getting the compilation done on a short notice.
He hoped that the compilation would serve as a useful guide for the officers as well as trade and industry
The FAQ compilation covers broadly 24 topics with Chapters on Registration, Valuation, Input Tax Credit, Assessment, Audit, Refund, Demand and Recovery, Appeals, Advance Ruling, Offence and Penalties etc.
The FAQ will serve as a training tool for helping the officers as well as public, to get acquainted with the Model GST law and its nuances.
The compilation is also available on CBEC website.
The journey to roll-out the Goods and Services Tax (GST) has commenced with the enactment of the 101st Constitution Amendment Act, 2016 on Sept 8 and the subsequent notifications.
The GST is a new fiscal law and it is necessary that tax officers and the trade are suitably aware of the law. In this backdrop, CBEC as a part of capacity building exercise has prepared a compilation of FAQ on GST.
