03 Jan 2020 Evaluate

With an aim to streamlining the Goods and Service Tax (GST) system for faster refunds, enhanced compliance and discourage tax evaders, Revenue Secretary Ajay Bhushan Pandey is going to hold a meeting on January 7 with commissioners of state and central taxes to discuss how the GST system can be streamlined. Officials will debate on ways to curb fraud and evasion, check fake or huge input tax credit claims and seek bank account details of businesses to tally with their filings.

In the meeting, the discussion will also be done on how to curb the misuse of refunds and share the best practices in revenue augmentation. The focus of the meeting will be also on a road ahead for e-invoicing, new return system and feedback, e-way bill linking with Fastag, pendency of refunds, linkage of Aadhaar to GST registration, enforcement module use without overreach and QR codes.

A detailed review of further use of data analytics and artificial intelligence in the process of enforcement, red-flagging tax evaders and finding a way to block fake refund claimants will also be taken up. Officials will examine the processes designed to give the due role to collating and combined study of data from third parties like banks and IFU-India.
