What is a GST Notice?
A GST Notice is a formal communication issued by the tax authority in India when there is a discrepancy or non-compliance in your GST returns.
There are two main types of GST notices:
- Show Cause Notice (SCN): The SCN is issued when there is a perceived non-compliance, and the taxpayer can explain.
- Demand Notice: It is issued when the tax authority determines that there is a tax liability.
Common Reasons for Receiving GST Notices
There are several reasons why you might receive a GST notice. These include discrepancies in your GST return, late filing, non-payment or short tax payment, and incorrect Input Tax Credit (ITC) claim.
