Bengal to Launch GST Appellate Tribunal in December 2023 for Faster Tax Dispute Resolutions, ETCFO
Kolkata: Come Dec, Bengal will have its own GST appellate tribunal, paving the way for faster resolution of tax-related disputes. According to official sources, the tribunal will hear appeals against GST orders passed by adjudicating authorities and commissioners. The move is expected to ease the mounting backlog of cases pending in high courts.
Welcoming the move, Confederation of West Bengal Trade Associations (CWBTA) president Sushil Poddar said, “The opening of GST appellate tribunal in Bengal will be a major relief for small and medium businesses. Taxpayers will no longer need to travel to other states or approach the high court for appeals. This will make the process faster, fairer and more accessible.” tnn
