Requirement of Audit under GST in India

Audit under GST  is basically the inspection of returns, records and other documents that are held by the taxpayer. Goods and Service tax or GST is one Tax that involves all the other taxes. It brought in the “One nation one tax” system. So to maintain a check and to see whether the correct GST is being paid and the refund is claimed, certain taxable persons will be subject to audit under the Goods and Service Tax.

 

Audit under GST confirms whether the taxes are paid, ITC refund claimed and ITC availed mentioned in their annual report are true and fair or not. Moreover, a GST audit also helps in assessing if the taxpayer is compliant with all the GST provisions.

 

Who all are eligible for audit under Goods and Service Tax?

This audit applies to any registered taxable person whose annual aggregate turnover (Value of all taxable supplies whether it is inter-state or intra-state + exempt supplies + supplies made outside India) exceeds 2 Crore INR during a financial year. The eligible taxpayer can get their account and all other records audited either by a Chartered Accountant(CA) or a Cost and Work Accountant (CWA).

 

Audit under GST for every state is carried out separately. This is why a separate GST audit is done for every unique registration under the same Permanent Account Number (PAN).

There are 3 types of Audits that are done under Goods and Service Tax. They are as follows:
