In a Press Release issued by Ministry of Finance, Government urges taxpayers who have claimed transitional credit erroneously to avail the opportunity of revising Form TRAN-1 by December 27 to ensure correct and bona fide credit availment. It also clarifies that if such correct or bonafide credit is not availed then it would constrain tax administration to initiate audit and enforcement action against identified units.
Noting that some taxpayers have availed “extraordinarily high” transitional credit of CGST which is neither commensurate with trend of input tax credit of industry nor as maintained by taxpayer himself in the past, Govt. remarks, “Such behaviour leads to breach of trust between the taxpayer and the tax-administration, which is the bed-rock of self-assessment regime in GST.
