Goods And Services Tax Network

Goods and Service Tax (GST) was the largest indirect tax reform in the history of India. The reform mandated integration of entire nation’s diverse tax portfolio into a single taxation system. This brought upon a massive complexity in developing an IT platform, to handle not only the diverse tax systems of 36 States/Union Territories & Union Government, but also needed providing a single interface for more than a crore taxpayers’ for their GST compliance functions. Goods and Services tax Network (GSTN) was entrusted to build such a platform to service the need of diverse set of stakeholders. The responsibilities include and not limited to the following: • GST System Application design, development and operation • Taxpayer Migration from erstwhile regime to GST regime • IT Infrastructure procurement, commissioning with state-of-an-art Security apparatus • Systemic resilience against failures and Disaster Recovery mechanism • Helpdesk Setup and Operations • Training and Capacity Building • GST Eco-System creation and management (GSPs) • Backend system for 27 States/UTs for assessments, appeal etc.
