GST Network Enhances Taxpayer Services with New IT Infrastructure and Back Office Modules for Compliance and Administration
The Goods and Service Tax Network (GSTN) is a Special Purpose Vehicle designed to facilitate the implementation of GST by providing IT infrastructure and services to government bodies and taxpayers. Its functions include registration facilitation, return processing, IGST computation, tax payment matching, and taxpayer management. The GST Common Portal allows taxpayers to manage registrations, payments, invoice data, and statutory returns. Tax officers use the portal for enrollment approvals, tax administration, and analytics. The GSTN Back Office, operational since May 2024, offers modules for registration, refund, enforcement, and task management, aiding officers in taxpayer monitoring and compliance enforcement.
