GSTN to temporarily shut down on 1st July
The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) will not be available on the first anniversary day of GST, i.e, 1st July, GSTN said. As the Goods and Services Tax Network ( GSTN ) is planning a major disaster recovery drill of GST System on 1st July 2018. The GSTN is to be temporarily shut down on 1st July 2018. So, the taxpayers cannot access the portal on the same day between 9 AM to 9 PM.
From the very first month of GST rollout, the technical glitches in the portal cause troubles to both taxpayers and professionals.
Several times, the Government was compelled to extend the return filing due dates frequently as the system was not working properly.
