The All Gujarat Federation of Tax Consultants (AGFTC) and Income Tax Bar Association (ITBA) have submitted a representation to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, addressing the high fees for filing appeals with the GST Appellate Tribunal. Currently, the fee structure under the GST Act stipulates fees ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹50,000 for appeals, which the associations deem excessive compared to similar provisions under the Income Tax Act. They advocate for a more reasonable fee structure aligned with the income tax appeals process, where fees range from ₹500 to ₹10,000. The suggested revisions would impose a fee of ₹1,000 to ₹10,000 depending on the case’s tax or input tax credit involved, ensuring a fairer and more accessible appeal process for taxpayers. The associations request the government to consider these changes to create a more equitable and streamlined taxation system under GST, benefiting both taxpayers and businesses.
