Central and state Goods and Services Tax authorities have shot off a spate of notices to companies over the last few months. This is likely to only increase in the coming months.
Summons issued by a state tax authority seeking details about GST payments from a company “based on media reports” of its merger with another company in a different state. A notice issued to a company just by levying a flat 18 per cent GST on the entire turnover raising tax demand of Rs 1,400 crore, without taking into account the tax already paid.
In the first case, revenue department officials argue the jurisdictional powers of the state GST authority arose as the company had taken registration in that particular state even though its key operations and headquarter were located in another.
