What is GSTAT under GST?
The GSTAT is a Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal. It is the forum for the second appeal in GST laws and the first common form of dispute resolution between centers and States.
The appeals against the orders, in the first appeal issued by the Authorities under GST, will be heard by Appellate Tribunal. This tribunal will be common under the Central as well as State GST Acts.
The GSTAT will ensure uniformity in the redressal of disputes arising under GST, and therefore, in the implementation of GST across the country.
Similarly, Chapter 109 of CGST rules empowers the Central Government to constitute Appellate Tribunal known as the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal for hearing appeals against the orders passed by the Appellate Authority or the Revisional Authority.
