Amid reports of a technical glitch in the Goods & Services Tax Network (GSTN), the IT backbone for GST, the government on Saturday extended the last date for filing of returns and payment of taxes by five days to August 25.
The network faced a
heavy rush of returns and several traders said they were unable to access the
system. GSTN officials said they were working to fix the problem but asserted
that that it was not a problem linked to capacity. A finance ministry statement
released on Saturday evening said the GST implementation committee, consisting
of state and central government officers, has taken a decision to extend the
last date for payment of GST for July , to August 25. The ministry also said
some technical glitches were also experienced by last minute return filers.
“Since it is the first return to be filed under GST, tax payers and tax
practitioners have asked for a few more days to file returns. Flood-hit states
also want the date extended,“ the statement said.
