Quick Summary

A user is seeking advice on how to report a real estate service provider who is conducting business worth crores without GST registration and evading taxes. The user has paid the provider via NEFT and did not receive official receipts. Experts advise that while 'penalty' isn't explicitly defined in GST, legal action can be taken for not issuing an invoice/receipt, with penalties potentially being 100% of the tax due or Rs. 10,000, whichever is higher. A complaint can also be filed via the official GST portal.

In response to your query,

Because the term "penalty" is not defined in the GST, it derives its meaning from a variety of judicial declarations and jurisprudential considerations. A penalty is a legal punishment for breaking a law or failing to do something that was a party's responsibility. Penalties can be either corporal or monetary, civil or criminal in nature. Under the GST, there are both bodily (jail) and pecuniary (monetary) punishments.

But you can file a case against him for not issuing an invoice/receipt.

Penalty for this is 100% of the tax due or Rs. 10,000 whichever is higher.
