GST - Enrolment of Existing Taxpayer on GST System Portal
THE Goa Commercial Taxes Department has issued an FAQ on 'Enrolment of the Existing Taxpayer on the GST System Portal'.
All existing taxpayers registered under
a. Central Excise
b. Service Tax
c. State Sales Tax / VAT (except exclusive liquor dealers if registered under VAT)
d. Entry Tax
e. Luxury Tax
f. Entertainment Tax (except levied by the local bodies)
are required to enrol into the new system as data available with various tax authorities is incomplete and thus fresh enrolment has been planned. Also, this will ensure latest data is available in GST Database without any recourse to amendment process, which is the norm to update the data under tax statutes today.
The Department has also prescribed the procedure for enrolment of existing VAT dealers on the GST System Portal. The online provisional registration on GST System Portal should be completed by all existing dealers between 14.11.2016 and 29.11.2016.
