GUIDELINES TO VERIFY
THE GST TAXPAYER’S TAX COLLECTION ELIGIBILITY STATUS JUST WITH AN ANDROID APP
The Goods and Services Tax
Act, 2017 came into force in India with effect from and we have celebrated
1.7.2018 as “GST DAY”.
The Central Government has
announced certain benefits to small taxpayers and they will have to pay GST at
Compounded rates. The taxpayers who were
paying tax at compounded rates (CGST @ 0.5% and SGST @ 0.5% totally 1%) should
not collect any amount from the buyers or consumers.
But the taxpayer who opted to
pay tax at compounded rates were collecting GST from the consumers and cheating
the public. Such kind of GST collection
is illegal.
The consumers may not be able
to verify such illegal GST collections so far and hence Thiru Raghu Kiran,
I.R.S., Joint Commissioner of GST, Hyderabad has developed an App namely “GST VERIFY APP” and the same is officially
launched on 1.7.2018 i.e. on “GST DAY” by
the Chief Commissioner (GST), Hyderabad.
This is a useful App to
identify tax evaders and to save money by consumers.
Any person can use this App
and if any evasion of GST is noticed the same may be reported as mentioned
below:
Dear Seniors / Colleagues and friends,
I am Raghu Kiran, I.R.S., Joint Commissioner, GST,
Hyderabad.
I have developed an App called GST VERIFY APP.
It is launched officially today i.e. on 1st
July, 2018 by Chief Commissioner, Hyderabad (GST).
The App is developed to protect interests of Consumers.
It is an Android APP to verify if the person collecting GST from the consumers
eligible to collect GST or not. It also provides the details of the person /
company collecting GST.
Download the App and every time you shop / eat / buy,
check the bill if there is any GST amount mentioned. If yes verify through this
App if she/he is genuine registered person or not, thereby you save the amount
shown as tax from the frauds if he is cheating you.
A composition Tax Payer should not collect the tax from
his consumer. Government gave the benefit to consumers, don’t get cheated. There are around 18 lakhs composition
taxpayers even if 10 lakhs persons are collecting only Rs. 100.00 (i.e. only
Rs.100.00 from 10 consumers as GST definitely there will will be more) there
are hundreds of crores of rupees being collected illegally. This App can be used across the country.
What should I do if I am given false GSTIN / if I notice
any fraud?
