Introduction

All waitlist participants shall be informed about the next enrollment date

The Goods and Services Tax is a tax that revamped the structure of indirect taxes in July 2017. However, frequent clarifications on applicability and changes in implementation dates have resulted in significant confusion about the interpretation and implementation of the new tax regime.

This course addresses the requirements for concept clarity in Goods and Services Tax and provides comprehensive guidance on interpreting various ‘points of interest’ in the law. It also covers a good deal of the procedural requirements addressing the ‘how-to’ questions.

It explains in simple language, yet precisely where the taxable event lies and how the tax should actually be calculated, deducted and paid. It can significantly help employees who are engaged in GST implementation for their employers as well as consultants and practitioners who intend to take up GST as an area of practice.

Government officials
Officers in public-private partnership projects
