Ramakrishnan Viraraghavan, Senior Advocate at the Supreme Court of India and Barrister (UK), participated as a distinguished panelist in a recent webinar hosted by TAXO Online. The event, organized by Shri Atul Gupta and Shri Manoj Kapoor, received an overwhelming response from the audience, sparking insightful discussions on handling GST litigation.

The panel featured experts like Shri Upender Gupta, former Chief Commissioner of CGST, and Shri CA Anmol Gupta, Indirect Tax Litigation Partner at M/s APRA & Associates LLP. Their diverse perspectives provided attendees with a well-rounded understanding of GST litigation—from drafting and implementation to daily tax challenges and judicial interpretation.

Ramakrishnan Viraraghavan, with nearly 40 years of litigation experience and as the author of The Law of Goods and Services Tax, offered in-depth insights into the constitutional and legislative nuances of GST. The audience posed numerous questions, including the scope of direct vs. indirect taxes and the future of GST litigation. While time constraints limited the discussion, Mr. Viraraghavan emphasized the growing significance of indirect tax practice, as well as the opportunities presented by the upcoming GST Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT).

This period represents a pivotal moment in the development of GST law, and practitioners are fortunate to be at the forefront as courts continue to shape the legislative landscape.
