The current UIDAI CEO and interim chairman of Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) Ajay Bhushan Pandey will lead a committee tasked with simplification of GST returns filing will consult tax experts and trade bodies to make the process convenient for businesses that have minimal transactions.
GSTN chairman A.B.Pandey headed panel comprises of VAT commissioners of various states such as Karnataka, Gujarat, Telangana etc.
The main objective of the committee is to simplification of GST and return filing to make the public more aware about their tax liabilities. In order to avoid confusions and mistakes the panel included more tax experts and also avoids the technical problems regarding the GST portal.
The chairman A.B.Pandey said that “We are also discussing with experts and taking opinion from various other stakeholders as to what simplification could be achieved. The whole idea is that people who are nil filers, who have no sale/purchase transactions, have taken a registration for some future use, they should be able to file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B by pressing just a few buttons. That is our ultimate aim”.
