New Delhi: India is at the dawn of implementation of fair taxation, GST is all set to rollout on July 1. The primary purpose of the Goods and Services Tax Network GSTN is to offer IT infrastructure and services to central and state governments, taxpayers and other stakeholders, to further facilitate the implementation of the GST.

The Goods and Services Tax or GST as we most of us know by now, is destination based tax that is to be levied on all goods and services and is being introduced with the intent to replace most of the existing indirect taxes including VAT, Service Tax, Excise Duty, Entry Tax and more.

Spice Digital Ltd, the technology wing of Spice Connect Group has diverse interests in Mobility and Fintech solutions for more than a decade now. As a natural progression, Spice Digital is one of the selected GST Suvidha providers taking a proactive part in the GST implementation.

Dealing with the GST filing system directly through the G2B portal may prove to be a little difficult for many taxpaying organizations, who would need third-party applications to access the same. These applications will connect with the GST filing system via secure GST System Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

The application developers are selected after approval from GSTN and are given the names: GST Suvidha Provider, or GSP, and Application Service Providers, or ASP. As one of the chosen GSPs, Spice has had rigourous preparation to be capacitive GST Suvidha provider.

These centers will also enable the clientele to train their employees and get all the real time updates and corresponding hands on training on any changes related to GST," he said.

Spice GSP provides ways to file sales and purchase return electronically over cloud using automation. The solution includes a GSP application which focuses on enriched asynchronous APIs, metering facility, detailed logging and many more features.
