Advantages Of GST Audit

Recording of correct time of supply

The voluntary audit allows recording of the correct time of supply. This reduced the instances of pre-paid and post-paid taxes. As you pay taxes on time, you can avoid the interest cost (both on pre-payment and post-payment) and penalty (on post-payment).

Verification of correctness of GST return

GST audit helps to verify the trueness and correctness of GST filling and Tax paid.

Matching of GST returns with Books of Accounts

In preparing the Reconciliation Statement the Books of accounts should be matched with GST returns.

In depth Checking of Unclaimed Input Tax Credit

Many times we don’t claim the GST input available from sundry expenses like bank charges and small petty exp done, GST Audit helps them to check and claim in next return.

Reversal of ITC

Any ITC we have claimed during the year which is not given by the dealer can be reversed in next return.
