Law committee recommends amendment to CGST law to quash retro tax notice

The recommendation, if approved by the council may give relief to a large number of industries including online gaming industry, which was seeking relief from retrospective tax notice. The recommendation may be placed before the GST council and once approved this would pace way for quashing a large number of notices sent to online gaming industry. The law committee has suggested amendment to the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Act, 2017 via the introduction of a new Section 11A in the legislation.
