Get guidance from tax dept, traders told amid GST notices over digital payments

BENGALURU: In the wake of confusion among traders over hefty tax notices for conducting business through digital payment gateways, the Commercial Taxes Department has advised them to submit explanations with relevant documents at the office from where they received the notice.

“The officers would verify them, inform the relevant provisions of the GST and also their remedies and would levy tax at the applicable rates only on the taxable turnovers after excluding the tax exempted goods and services,” the department stated.
