The Minister further stated that GST is paid on self-assessment basis and tax administration at Central and State level is empowered to take action against cases where GST is not paid and short paid. Detection of such cases and recovery of taxes not paid or short paid is a continuous process.

Giving more details, the Minister stated that the Government, on the recommendations of the GST Council, has been bringing several reforms in GST. These measures would improve the GST compliance and increase the GST collection. These inter-alia include:-

(i) Structural changes like calibration of GST rates for correcting inverted duty structure and pruning of exemptions;

(ii) Measures for improving tax compliance such as mandating e-way bill, ITC matching, mandating e-invoice, deployment of artificial intelligence and machine-based analytics, aadhaar authentication for registration, calibrated action on non-filers, stop filers, targeted assessment-based action on risky tax payer, integration of e-way bill with fast tag etc.

(iii) System based analytical tools and system generated red flag reports are being shared with Central as well as State Tax authorities to take action against tax evaders.

GST compliance measures strengthened with mandatory e-invoicing, ITC matching and analytics-driven enforcement to recover unpaid tax. GST operates on a self-assessment basis with Central and State tax administrations empowered to detect and recover unpaid or short-paid taxes; detection and recovery are continuous processes. Reforms recommended by the GST Council include rate calibration to correct inverted duty structures, pruning exemptions, mandating e-way bills and e-invoicing, ITC matching, Aadhaar authentication for registration, e-way bill integration with toll systems, and deployment of analytics and system-generated red-flag reports to support targeted enforcement.
