GST Audit
Audit under GST is the process of examination of records, returns and other documents maintained by a taxable person. The purpose is to verify the correctness of turnover declared, taxes paid, refund claimed and input tax credit availed, and to assess the compliance with the provisions of GST. Under the GST regime, a major thrust is laid on the ‘self assessment’ of tax liability by the assessee.

Our team of professionals facilitate the determination of any under or over assessment made by the assessee, through the appropriate interpretation and application of the GST provisions by offering GST audit services. In addition, we also offer services with respect to assistance to clients when Audit is conducted by Department.
