What is a GST Suvidha Providers System Audit?

GST Service Providers are the special entities who have been authorized to develop a platform to enable the taxpayer to do the GST compliances. 

All GST system functionalities like registration, return filing, payment of taxes, uploading of invoices will be available through APIs. All return filings under GST will be managed by GSTN.

Applicability

  1. GST Suvidha Providers must get their systems audited as per ISO standards before they start feeding data into the network.
  2. GSPs also must have their systems audited as per the prevailing ISO standard on security from one of the auditors on the panel of CERT-IN before they connect with and start pushing data into the GST System.

Objective

The objectives of Audits of GST Service Providers:

  1. To emphasize on the identified risk areas and to scrutinize the records maintained in the normal course of business.
  2. To identify the unexplored compliance verification.
  3. To ensure smooth functioning as the country is gearing up for an overhaul of its indirect tax regime and thousands of businesses will upload their purchase-sale invoices on the GST Network (GSTN) daily.
