GST Health Check-up.
The five things you need to know.
A short, focused diagnostic of your GST position - exposure, missed input credits, classification risk, reconciliation gaps.
Manufacturers, traders and service companies who have not had an external GST review in 12+ months.
Full-population analytics on GSTR-2B vs 3B vs vendor data. ITC eligibility tested line by line in identified high-risk heads.
A single concise report with quantified exposure, recoverable credits, and a remediation plan for any classification risk.
4-6 weeks for a full health check; 3-4 weeks for a credit-only diagnostic.
What we do.
A GST health check is the cheapest insurance you can buy for an indirect-tax position that hasn't been independently reviewed in a while. We find missed credits (which fund the engagement), and we find classification or exposure risks (which let you fix them before they become assessments).
Coverage.
Input tax credits: GSTR-2B vs 3B reconciliation, blocked credit testing, ITC eligibility on overlooked heads (canteen, transportation, R&D, capex, AMC contracts, common service distributors).
Output side: classification testing for ambiguous HSN codes, place of supply checks, e-invoicing compliance.
Reconciliations: books vs GSTR-1, GSTR-3B vs annual return, e-way bill vs sales register.
What you receive.
A single, focused report - typically 12-20 pages. Quantified credit recovery, quantified exposure, classification recommendations, and a remediation plan that maps each item to an action and an owner.
How we are different.
- Recoveries fund the engagement. In manufacturing companies, we typically identify recoverable credits that more than cover our fee in the first cycle.
- Full-population analytics, not sample. We work the whole GL and the full GSTR data, not a 10% sample.
- Actionable, not academic. Every finding comes with a remediation step - file a credit note, raise a CN, claim the credit in the next return, file a refund.
The cornerstone we are publishing.
The Audit Trail's cornerstone GST piece - "GST Health Check: 7 Most-Missed Input Tax Credits in Manufacturing" - captures the seven categories we keep finding unclaimed. It will live on this site shortly. In the meantime, the diagnostic itself is the fastest way to find out what you're missing.
