GST Advisory & Litigation: Expert Guidance for Businesses

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) has simplified India’s tax system, but it has also introduced complexities that businesses must navigate carefully. From Input Tax Credit (ITC) issues to inverted duty structures and litigation, understanding the nuances of GST is essential for smooth operations.

At Omega QMS, we provide end-to-end GST advisory and litigation support, helping businesses stay compliant while effectively resolving disputes.

Common GST Challenges for Businesses

Input Tax Credit (ITC) Issues

ITC allows businesses to offset taxes paid on inputs against output tax liabilities. While the concept is straightforward, practical challenges often arise:

  • Mismatched invoices or incorrect GST filings
  • Blocked credits under GST provisions
  • Delays in claiming eligible credits

Without careful management, ITC issues can lead to financial strain and compliance risks.

Inverted Duty Structures

An inverted duty structure occurs when the tax rate on inputs is higher than the rate on outputs. This often leads to accumulated credits and cash flow problems, requiring strategic planning and guidance.

GST Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Disputes may arise despite diligent compliance. In such cases, businesses may need to approach:

  • CESTAT (Customs, Excise, and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal)
  • High Courts

GST litigation is complex and time-consuming, and expert representation is crucial to ensure that claims—whether for ITC or refunds—are presented effectively and resolved efficiently.
