The Rajasthan government has approved the appointment of 2,000 'Tax Mitra' to assist with the collection of Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT). This initiative aims to simplify the tax deposit process for applicants.
In addition to this, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has given the green light for the development of an 'Artificial Intelligence' based e-tax officer software platform, which will allow dealers to perform a 'self-tax check'.
To be eligible for the Tax Mitra position, applicants must have a minimum educational qualification of a commerce graduation degree, and preference will be given to experienced candidates such as Chartered Accountants (CA) and Company Secretaries (CS). The age limit has been set between 21 and 40 years.
Tax Mitra will charge a fee for various tax-related application processes, with fees ranging from Rs 50 to Rs 400 for activities such as GST, VAT application, amendment, ITC, e-way bill, subsidy application, and MSME application. It is worth noting that the Chief Minister announced this initiative in the 2023-24 budget to simplify the GST and VAT application procedures.
The government will appoint 2,000 ‘Tax Mitra’ to facilitate the applicants in the application process of GST and VAT. This will make it easier to deposit the tax. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has approved the proposal, as per an official Statement.
