NEW DELHI: The Government today extended the deadline by a month till November 30 for businesses to claim credit of transitional stock in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime.
“Form GST TRAN-1 (with revision facility) extended to November 30, 2017,” said a tweet by GST@GOI, the official twitter handle of the Government for GST.
TRAN-1 is to be filed by those businesses that are keen to claim credit for taxes paid before the launch of GST on July 1.
“The extension would aid in subsiding the anxiety among various industry players, caused on account of revision option of TRAN-1 not being available on the portal even 4 days prior to the due date,” EY India Tax Partner Abhishek Jain said. (AGENCIES)
