Relief to Kerala GST taxpayers: Multiple SCNs will be adjudicated by Single Adjudicating Authority Irrespective of Issue, Jurisdiction or Periods

In a significant move, the Kerala GST department has announced that multiple show-cause notices (SCNs) issued for the same taxpayer, regardless of issues, jurisdiction, or periods, will be adjudicated by a single adjudicating authority. This move is aimed at streamlining the process, reducing the burden on taxpayers, and ensuring uniformity in adjudication. The initiative seeks to enhance efficiency and coherence within the GST system, especially for businesses that often face multiple notices for similar issues across different periods or jurisdictions.
