Managing GST compliance using technology
Our DigiGST® offering hosted on a secure cloud is your single-point solution for GST compliance.
Introduced in July 2017, Goods and Services Tax (GST) has been a game-changing tax reform in India. GST has laid the foundation for a more efficient tax system, has rationalized the tax structure and simplified the compliance procedures by replacing multiple central taxes and duties, as well as local state taxes.
A key component of GST is the automation of compliance procedures to reduce errors and increase efficiency. GST requires greater integration of tax domain knowledge and technology, as compliance has become paperless and data-intensive, with sector-specific nuances.
The digitalization has also created a new paradigm in tax administration and reports and analytics.
Essentially in the new ecosystem, organizations have been imposed with significantly more onerous responsibilities of being granularly true and correct in relation to tax reporting and have been made materially responsible for the compliances of third-party in the supply chain.
The legislation also imposes higher corrective implications in case of errors resulting in short payment of taxes or incorrect availment of credit.
Besides this, the new paradigm mandates a higher auditable demonstration of bona fide. Furthermore, the dual tax mechanism adopted by India leads to higher risk of blockages, leakages and incorrect treatment of taxes.

Seamless transition
These three easy steps will ensure a seamless migration from your existing provider to DigiGST®.

Collaboration with SAP
EY and SAP have collaborated to offer DigiGST® on SAP Cloud PaaS services and clients’ SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms ECC and S/4.
All the business logic related to GST return preparation and Annexure-2 PR reconciliation is implemented on cloud. GSTN Application Programming Interface (API)are invoked from the cloud platform to save the data to GST Network (GSTN) and file the GST return. The summary and transitional data that is most relevant for business users is made available for the seamless integration with the ERP. This potential reverse integration has tremendous benefits on the organization’s cross functional automated work processes. To summarize, ERP has the most relevant user interface and workflows, the complete business logic and full-fledged compliance functionality is available on cloud platform.
Seamless integration between ERP and cloud application is achieved using secure APIs (for forward integration from ERP to cloud solution) and using APIs over SAP Cloud Connector (for reverse integration from cloud to ERP).
In addition to the inherent strengths of the solution, there are several advantages to DigiGST® being a collaboration between EY and SAP.
How to make the transition to DigiGST® on SAP?
All SAP users can easily transition their existing GST filings through DigiGST® Tax Compliance Integrator, which includes an extractor program and APIs for pushing the extracted data to cloud platform for ECC and using standard SAP document attributes. Customers can choose to build their own extractors and provide data as per EY API specification or can even customize and extend the sales and purchase extractor program, which has been designed to extract from SAP (supports ECC and S4) base tables related to finance (FI), sales and delivery (SD) and material management (MM)
