Goods and Services Tax (GST) enrolment window for existing taxpayers would re-open from June 1 for a period of 15 days only.
In a press release, the commissioner of taxes, Nagaland stated that activities that were required to be done during this period include enrolment of taxpayers who have not used the Prov ID and password token shared with them; completion of enrolment Form by the taxpayers who have saved the application but not filed it so far. Forms would be considered as successfully filed once the Application Reference Number (ARN) is generated, the release stated.
In the absence of completed and filed enrolment form, the GST portal would not have the details of the ‘authorised signatory’ and the taxpayer would not be able to file any form or conduct any business on the GST portal after July 1.
Therefore, the commissioner of taxes informed that it was very important to have the enrolment form duly filled and filed with GST portal before July 1. Further, it has also been clarified that even to opt for the composition scheme, the details of the authorised signatory would be required. Thereafter, the next opportunity to complete and file the enrolment form would open only on July 1, 2017.
