GST Appeal

Simplifying the Process and Ensuring Timely Submission

gst appeal services

Disputes under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) are not uncommon. Sometimes, taxpayers receive orders from the GST authorities that they believe are incorrect, excessive, or based on an inaccurate interpretation of the law.

The GST Act provides a structured appellate framework to ensure justice and fairness. At the first stage, an appeal can be made to the Commissioner (Appeals). If the taxpayer is still dissatisfied with the outcome, they can approach the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT).

At Vizttax, we provide professional GST Appeal Services in Delhi NCR, assisting taxpayers in navigating this process with precision. We also guide you through filing appeals on the GST Portal (FORM GST APL-01), ensuring your appeal is effective, backed by strong documentation and legal reasoning.

Need of GST Appeal Services

A GST appeal may become necessary in situations such as:

  • Wrong interpretation of law by the GST officer leading to a demand or penalty.
  • Disallowance of Input Tax Credit (ITC) despite valid documentation.
  • Mismatch in GST returns resulting in tax demands.
  • Allegations of suppression or fraud without sufficient evidence.
  • Classification or valuation disputes on goods/services.
  • Rejection of refund claims without valid grounds.
  • Orders passed without considering your reply or submissions.

By filing a GST appeal, you can:

Frequently Asked Questions:

An appeal to the Commissioner (Appeals) must be filed within 3 months from the date of communication of the order. Appeals to the GSTAT must generally be filed within 3 months from the date of the Commissioner (Appeals) order.

Yes. At the Commissioner (Appeals) stage, you need to pre-deposit 10% of the disputed tax amount (subject to limits). At the GSTAT stage, an additional 10% of the disputed amount may be required.

Generally, GST disputes must follow the appeal hierarchy: Adjudicating Authority → Commissioner (Appeals) → GSTAT → High Court/Supreme Court (for substantial questions of law).

The appellate authority may condone a delay of up to 1 month (at Commissioner Appeals) if a valid reason is provided. Beyond this, the right to appeal may be lost.

While you can file the appeal yourself, professional representation by a Chartered Accountant or Advocate increases the chances of success due to the legal and procedural complexities.
