Revised guidelines on conducting manual scrutiny of Service Tax Returns to be operational from Aug 1
Updated: Jul 17, 2015 03:22:30pm
In an era of self-assessment of tax liability by the assessees, compliance verification assumes greater importance. Scrutiny is one of the three prongs of compliance verification, the other two being audit and anti-evasion. Prior to the reorganization of Commissionerates, all these three prongs were being handled by a single Commissionerate. With the creation of separate Audit Commissionrates, the Executive Commissionerates will focus on scrutiny and anti-evasion work.
The selection of returns for detailed scrutiny would be on the basis of risk parameters which would be centrally generated. The scrutiny would be entirely done in the departmental premises, based on assessment related documents obtained from the assesses. (KNN Bureau)
