GST Audit

A GST audit is an examination of a taxpayer's financial records and compliance with the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regulations. GST is a value-added tax levied on most goods and services sold for domestic consumption. The audit ensures that businesses are properly collecting, reporting, and remitting GST to the government.
During a GST audit, tax authorities may review various documents such as sales and purchase invoices, accounting records, financial statements, and other relevant documents to verify the accuracy of GST reporting. The audit aims to identify any errors, omissions, or discrepancies in the taxpayer's GST returns and assess whether they have complied with GST laws and regulations.
