As an ASP Avalara will provide an automated system for businesses to upload invoice data of sales and purchases, reconcile and automatically generate their GST reports. These GST returns will then be automatically filed on behalf of the filer with GSTN via GSP. Avalara as an ASP will act as a link between the taxpayers and the GSPs.
An IT ecosystem through a network of GSPs and ASPs will help corporations and tax consultants achieve data-based compliance under the new GST regime. More than 10 million businesses in India will be required to move to compliance automation under the new reform. Businesses must move from filing one VAT return every three months to continuous invoice data transmission and multiple form filings each month. Additionally, the shift from source- to destination-based taxation now requires Indian companies to file in every state in which they have a presence, rather than filing in only its origin state.
