- Query: When can a taxpayer pay tax on a provisional basis?
- Answer: Under the GST regime, the taxpayer normally pays tax on a self-assessment basis. If a taxpayer is unable to determine the value and tax rate applicable to the goods/services they supplied, they should raise a request for provisional assessment, citing the reasons why they need to pay tax on a provisional basis. This request will be processed by a tax officer.
