What are common GST audit issues?

Some of the typical GST audit issues are mismatches between returns and books of accounts, incorrect ITC claims, missing or delayed return filings, wrong classification of goods/services, errors in tax rates, incomplete documentation, and non-reconciliation of GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and GSTR-2A/2B.
 
During a GST audit, businesses often face issues like incorrect tax filing, mismatched input tax credits, late or missing returns, unreported outward supplies, classification errors, and non-compliance with exemptions. These discrepancies can lead to notices, penalties, and interest, making accurate record-keeping and timely reconciliation essential for GST compliance.
