Tax Authorities Ordered to Reassess Liability After Overlooking GSTR-9C Submission and Provide Fair Opportunity for Document Presentation
HC set aside orders by tax authorities for failing to consider GSTR-9C submission. The court directed the adjudicating authority to revisit the case, review the GSTR-9C, and provide the petitioner an opportunity to present supporting documents within eight weeks. The writ petition was disposed of, requiring authorities to reconsider the tax liability assessment.
Issues Involved: The petitioner aggrieved by orders passed without considering GSTR-9C submission.
Issue 1: Consideration of GSTR-9C submission The petitioner was aggrieved by the act of the adjudicating authority and the appellate authority for passing orders without considering the submission made for the GSTR-9C. The petitioner admitted to a short deposit of tax due to inadvertence, which was rectified by filing GSTR-9C. However, this submission was not taken into consideration by the authorities. The petitioner relied on guidelines issued by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, mentioning the need to provide an opportunity to explain differences between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B in cases of short payment of tax liability. The Court observed that the GSTR-9C submitted by the petitioner was not considered by any of the respondent authorities. Consequently, the orders passed by the adjudicating authority and the appellate authority were set aside. The adjudicating authority was directed to revisit the issue after considering the GSTR-9C and providing an opportunity for the petitioner to present supporting documents.
