The dealers shall not have much knowledge about the details that are required to show in the return. In such cases if tax return preparer does not advises or just uploads the details as received from dealers then the return would be incomple and the responsibility is upon the assessee. Thus in my view the tax return preparer should in addition to filing rreturn also advise the dealer to provide correct and complete details. – Reply By Pradeep Kumar – The Reply = Dear experts,What would be the fate of present tax practitioners once GST rolls out?

Taxable Person [Section 2(96)] Taxable person has been defined to have a meaning as assigned to it in section 9 of the model law. According to section 9, taxable person means a person who carries on any business at any place in any state or India or and who is registered or required to be registered for the purpose of GST law as per Schedule -III to the Act. Taxable person would therefore, cover both – one who are registered as taxable person under the Act and two, persons who are not so registered but required to be so registered. Thus, even unregistered person would be called a taxable person liable as such under the Act. Following points are
