CAG shows several gaps in GST regime.

NEW DELHI: The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has pointed to several gaps in the goods and services tax (GST) regime, including problems with the refund mechanism as well as with the filing system and failure of the IT platform provider GSTN in checking the filed data.

Refunds have come in for special scrutiny with the CAG report, which dealt with FY21, noting that there were instances of non-compliance with the rules, with the provisions in cases where refunds were paid and the department did not use its own database for the purpose. Similarly, it noted that officers failed to scrutinize cases where suspicious refund claims were not supported by adequate documents.

The government sought to counter it saying that during the initial phase the focus was on "facilitation" instead of "enforcement".

GST 2.0 may be free of jurisdiction: Vivek Johri, chairman, CBIC.

India could consider a significant shift in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) including a jurisdiction-free regime as part of the next set of reforms for the five-year-old indirect tax system.

New Delhi, which raised the import duty on gold recently, is not looking at any further administrative measures immediately to clamp down imports.

"The second aspect of administrative structure, which we need to sort of discuss is whether we still need a territorial jurisdiction, at least within CBIC. I think technology makes it possible for us to not be tied to a particular geographic location," Vivek Johri, chairman of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), told ET.

“Industry has requested centralised registration and audit, particularly for the financial services sector or enterprises that have pan-India presence,” Johri said.
