GST – States
The State Tax Commissioner issued a directive enforcing the timely production of records and information for audit purposes under the Goa GST Act, 2017, following an instruction from the CBIC. This directive mandates all officers to promptly provide requisite documents to the C&AG audit teams to facilitate statutory audits, as empowered by Article 149 of the Constitution. Non-compliance noted in prior audits necessitated this uniform implementation. Officers must also coordinate with taxpayers to obtain documents not held within government records. The instruction aims to ensure transparency and accountability in government revenue administration by obligating field formations to cooperate fully with audit authorities. Failure to comply may result in administrative consequences, underscoring the legal obligation to support audit functions under the applicable GST framework.
