Submission of petition by : Kerala Tax Practitioners’ Association, Kochi
Sir
The Kerala Tax Practitioners’ Association is a community of tax practitioners’ who work as intermediaries between the government and the business community by doing justified service in generating the revenue to the government by providing reliable advice to the business community. In the case of large number of retail traders in the country, they are depending mostly on tax practitioners for understanding the complicated laws of GST and filing their periodic returns, it will leads to use of GSTN portal almost at the last minutes of the due date.
Of late, the Kerala Tax Practitioners’ community has been undergoing severe work pressure and time lapse due to the various technical issues related to GSTN portal.
Presently 1.03 cores of registered assesses are accessing the GSTN network directly or through tax professional like us for filing their monthly/quarterly and other periodic returns, in addition to E-way bill, which is used for transporting the goods valued more than Rs. 50,000/-. Where as the GSTN itself limits and shows the capacity as 1.5 lakhs assesses at a time and so the capacity can’t be correlated with the assesses number.
In the midst of financial and economic crises, the GST Network create additional burden to the assesses in the nature of Late Fee/Interest.
So we pray to
1. Increase the server capacity of GSTN Network, to enable the entire registered dealer to access the portal for their day to day requirements like e-way bill, periodic returns, GSTR-2 verification, uploading outward supply details in regular basis etc.
2. Present system of imposing automated late fee for delayed submission of various returns through GSTN, in addition to imposing interest for delayed payment is a denial of natural justice to the assesses, so it is humbly request you to make necessary Amendments in GST Act/Rule to impose the late fee as a discretionary power by offering hearing to the tax payers thereby reduce the hardship faced by the business community.
3. By considering the upcoming the returns like GSTR1, GSTR 9 & GSTR 9C which falls due on 31st of this month, and the previous experience itself proved that the GSTN capacity is not correlated with assesses requirements, so it is humbly requested to extend the due date of GSTR 9 & GSTR 9C for the year 2017-18 to further one month.
Thanking you,
P.S Joseph
General Secretary
