ClearTax’s GST e-learning kit launched to assist Smooth Transition

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is set to roll out from July, and with it, India’s taxation landscape will undergo a sea of changes, especially in the indirect taxation sector. To prepare for its impact on businesses, ClearTax launched its GST e-learning kit to educate the business community, make over 2.5 lakh CAs and Tax Return Preparers GST-ready, and help them serve over 1 crore businesses.

Commenting on the launch of the course, Archit Gupta, Founder & CEO, ClearTax said, “The implementation of GST will create a level-playing field for chartered accountants across the country. It presents a unique business opportunity for those well-versed with the system to take the lead and help businesses migrate to the new tax regime.”

ClearTax’s GST training e-learning modules include 10 hours of high-quality videos, 20+ real-world examples to study implications, 50+ online webinars, 20+ quizzes to practice concepts, and 100+ presentations and articles on GST. ClearTax created the course content in collaboration with indirect tax experts, and it includes an online certification exam after a 3-week course; at least 70% is required to pass. Upon passing, trainees will receive a GST certification to qualify them as official GST-compliant accountants and auditors.

Mr. Gupta adds, “ClearTax’s GST kit for CAs is an all-in-one package with comprehensive and structured training and will equip them with the best software for end-to-end GST compliance and online CA profiling to help grow their practice following the GST roll-out.”

Businesses will be required to file a minimum of 37 GST returns in a financial year when the new tax system is put in place. Along with tech support, ClearTax aims to provide end-to-end support and solutions to make filing faster and more efficient. Using the software, chartered accountants can migrate their clients’ business accounts to the platform, pull data from old software platforms, and get them GST-ready. The real-time collaboration with clients will help CAs view the status of pending returns, credits, etc.
