Descriptions of Demand and Recovery with Relevant Forms under GST

Introduction:

A person determines the tax and pays it by self-assessment under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system. When paying taxes by self-assessment, there is likely to be a probability that the tax will either be underpaid accidentally or that the assesses may underpay the tax consciously or intentionally. The authority to recover those taxes that are intentionally or unintentionally underpaid by assesses must abide by certain rules in such cases.

The GST Act provides forms for the demand and recovery of GST tax on specific mismatch reports resulting from unpaid taxes or short-paid taxes.

The appropriate tax officer may issue a demand in the prescribed form or format if the taxpayer fails to pay the GST payable amount to the GST department.

And if the taxpayer is unable to pay the GST tax due within 3 months of receiving the tax officer's demand letter, the tax officer may reclaim the GST tax sum.
