A GST (Goods and Services Tax) audit is an examination of the financial records of a registered GST taxpayer by the tax authorities to verify the accuracy of the tax return filed by the taxpayer. The audit aims to ensure that the taxpayer has accurately reported their taxable transactions and paid the correct amount of GST.

Under the GST system, taxpayers are required to file regular returns and maintain accurate and complete records of their business transactions. The tax authorities may select a taxpayer for an audit based on various factors such as the amount of tax paid, the nature of the business, the type of industry, and the compliance history of the taxpayer.

During a GST audit, the tax authorities will review the taxpayer's records and financial statements, verify the input tax credit claimed, and examine the compliance with other GST provisions such as invoicing, payment of tax, and filing of returns. The audit may also include a physical verification of the goods and assets held by the taxpayer.

If the tax authorities find any discrepancies or non-compliance during the audit, they may issue a show-cause notice to the taxpayer, requiring them to explain the reasons for the discrepancies or non-compliance. The taxpayer may be liable to pay additional tax, interest, and penalties if the discrepancies are not satisfactorily explained.
