Centre to launch faceless GST assessment for large taxpayers

The Centre is planning to introduce a faceless assessment mechanism for GST taxpayers, beginning with assessees operating under central formulations. The move is expected to streamline compliance and reduce direct interaction between tax officials and businesses.

Industry experts have welcomed the initiative, noting it will particularly benefit multi-state enterprises, exporters, and large manufacturers. The faceless system is seen as a step toward reducing administrative burden and improving transparency in GST administration.
