This GST notice has created a stir on social media and judging by the comments, some people are wondering if it’s time to change their career!
The notice also states that supplying goods/services without obtaining GST registration even after exceeding the limit is an offence. Many social media users have given different reactions to the notice. However, ABP News cannot confirm the authenticity of the viral notice, nor has Live Mint done so.
An ex user said.. “He has received an amount of Rs 40 lakh and this may or may not be his income… You have to deduct the raw material cost, man power cost and fixed charges etc. It may be He is earning just enough to sustain himself,” “
Another Reddit user said, “It would be better if he gets himself registered under GST.”
A user asked GST “Golgappa Sevpuri Tax” said it
One Reddit user called it a good move and said, “This should be done for all those business owners who don’t pay taxes and earn too much. We taxpayers have to pay more taxes because of them.” However, some users also expressed doubt on the notice and one user said, “Yes, it is possible to earn so much by selling Panipuri, but it actually looks fake, which can be easily photoshopped.”
