Tax Rule Changes from Next Month: The month of September has already reached halfway, and with its end, the second quarter of the financial year will be ending. With the beginning of October, a new financial quarter, Q3, will begin. This means that several rules will be changed with the onset of October this year. This includes rules related to taxes. Broadly, there will be two changes that taxpayers will see beginning October — with one affecting GST payers and the other affecting income tax payers.
Here are the two tax rules that will change from October 1, 2022
GST e-Invoice Rule Change
Starting from October 1, e-invoicing for businesses with an aggregate turnover of Rs 10 crore and above, under the Goods and Services Tax, or GST regime, will become mandatory. The government has lowered the limit from Rs 20 crore at present in a bid to tackle revenue leakage and to ensure better tax compliance from businesses.
“In the said notification, in the first paragraph, with effect from the 1stday of October, 2022, for the words “twenty crore rupees”, the words “ten crore rupees” shall be substituted,” said the announcement made by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) in a notification date August 1, Monday. The rules have been notified on the basis of the recommendations made by the GST Council, it said.
As per experts, the move will ensure better tax compliance and is a step towards making it compulsory for all GST taxpayers.
