STP’s also practice Direct Tax, Central Excise and Service Tax. They are playing important role in Direct and Indirect Tax collection for States & Central Govt. Number of STP’s are more than the number of CA’s. Many CA’s are not practicing VAT and Central Excise by choice. After introduction of GST assesses number will increase. CA’s alone may not be able to handle this. STP’s have specified qualification, training, experience and are capable of handling the Indirect Tax Matters(GST). So,

GREETINGS TO THE GREAT MOVEMENT OF GST. WE THE TAX PRACTITIONERS WELCOME THIS INITIATE IN MAKING NATION ON PAR WITH SUPER POWERS.
RESPECTED SIR/MADAM, TAX PRACTITIONERS ARE MAIN SOURCE OF REVENUE SINCE BECAUSE OF VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCES OF THE TAX PAYERS AND IT OUR DAY TO DAY BREAD AND BUTTER.
WE ARE CONFUSED,LITTLE SHOCKED AS WE ARE NOT A PART OF THIS NEW SYSTEM,SINCE OUR FRATERNITY SERVING SINCE 1922 & TRANSITED TO VAT REGIME. WE PRAY YOUR GOODSELVES TO KINDLY CONTINUE TAX PRACTITIONERS IN GST

Hon'ble Sir,
Kindly consider our request as per attachment

For the sake of simplicity, there should be only 1 monthly return with only one due date say 20th of next month. Further the services of registered ITP/STP/Tax Auditors must be used for various certifications under the GST Acts irrespective of whether the person is liable for Audit under IT Act or not. It would be an additional burden on the CAs if only they are to certify the statements under GST Acts as such statements would be practically voluminous in the long run.

Please see our comments in attached PDF.

We the Practitioners are bridge between the government department and clients, if neglected in GST scheme it is become burden to the clinet and Government. In building the nation and if we are not considered in GST scheme will become unemployed and humble request to consider existing STP's as TRP's in GST scheme. It is burden to our lively hood and our staff

1.returns should be made simple.
2.there must be provision for revision of return.

1) Compulsion of mentioning HSN code for any dealer should be removed. Many wholesaler dealing in more than 10000 variety of items cannot key in all HSN. Its impractical.
2) Mentioning quantity in GSTR - 8 is impossible. A single item is sold in multiple sytle.
Eg: A Wire is sold in meter, coil of 25 m, coil of 90 m, coil of 100 m, coil of 500 m etc. Final mismatch in quantity as key in by multiple dealers in multiple style may attract litigation and mismatch in data.

Please increase the time limit to submit more suggestion, as government has given very less time. We can give you better suggestion after in depth study of law and processes.
