The Goods and Services Tax (GST) rollout in India has brought with it a diverse set of challenges for organizations irrespective of industry. One such challenge is the manual preparation of GST, which not only increases costs in terms of devoting additional human resources to tax compliance, but also makes the data more susceptible to error. It only stands to get more complex. E-way bills, foreign and occasional registration management, refund processing, TDS, and TCS on e-Commerce transactions are not yet in full effect. Once they are, manual compliance will become an even larger strain, putting businesses at greater risk of committing any of the 21 offences under GST. To help minimize such strain and risk, businesses are choosing tax compliance automation, such as Avalara TrustFile GST, over manual processes.
