GST authorities drop plans to enforce stricter e-way bill norms
PrintListen to this Article
This decision likely stems from the difficulties businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises, encounter in generating e-invoices, such as increased administrative work and the need for technological upgrades.
E-invoices, readable across different software, eliminate the need for re-entering data and promote tax compliance. They automatically update transaction data in other tax documents like e-way bills and GST returns, enhancing economic activity oversight.
The initial plan to deny transportation permits to firms not issuing e-invoices for business-to-business transactions aimed to boost tax compliance. The heightened reporting demands under the GST regime contribute to the economy's formalization and tax compliance.
The National Informatics Centre (NIC), under the ministry of electronics and information technology and managing some GST reporting portals, in an update said that the plan to block e-way bill generation without an e-invoice has been deferred, without specifying a new date for its potential reintroduction.
Initially, e-invoicing was mandatory for businesses with sales over ? 500 crore, but now it applies to those with annual sales exceeding ? 5 crore. It is not required for retail sales to end consumers.
