Recently, the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has announced an important decision concerning those individuals who want to apply for the GST Amnesty Scheme. The decision will impact the eligibility and application for this tax-related scheme, which is to be fulfilled by the people to reap the benefits of the scheme.

Please read the article to learn more about the announcement made by GSTN and about the specifics of the scheme.

What Is The GST Amnesty Scheme?

The GST Amnesty Scheme has been introduced under Section 128A by the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN). Under the scheme, if a taxpayer has paid the tax dispute amount on or before March 31st, 2025, their pending and penalty amount will be waived off.

What Is The Issued Announcement Regarding The GST Amnesty Scheme?

Taxpayers who are interested in reaping the benefits of the Amnesty Scheme by applying for it can do so, but only by uploading or attaching a screenshot of the appeal case folder showing the status as ‘Appeal Withdrawn’. This is to be done by people at the time of filing the waiver or editing the already filed waiver application.

This decision of GSTN will help in efficiently and quickly applying for the tax-related scheme without having to wait for the court or the appellate authority registrar to resolve their pending case.

Specifics Of The Announcement

There are some significant points about the decision issued by the GSTN concerning the Amnesty Scheme. All those are laid down below in detail for one’s better understanding and reference:

If the withdrawal application is filed before the final acknowledgement is issued by the appellate authority, the system would automatically withdraw the appeal application.
However, if the withdrawal application is filed after the appellate authority issues the final acknowledgement, the withdrawal of the appeal application will only be approved by the appellate authority.
The tax-related scheme also mandates that an appeal made against the demand order shouldn’t be pending with the appellate authority.

Conclusion

The decision announced by the Goods and Services Tax Network. i.e., the mandated attachment of a screenshot of the appeal case folder to show the status of the appeal withdrawn to complete the application of the GST Amnesty Scheme would help innumerable people. This wouldn’t only make the process quick and efficient for the people, but for the concerned authorities like courts or appellate authorities as well.
