The State Goods and Services Tax (GST) Department will launch the Lucky Bill App scheme on Tuesday as part of stepped-up efforts to check tax evasion.
In a bid to make the scheme attractive, the government is offering prizes to the public who upload GST invoices after making their purchases. The scheme is designed to encourage consumers to demand bills on making purchases and force traders to issue accurate bills. The government calculates that this, in turn, will lead to a marked increase in tax revenues.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will launch the Lucky Bill App in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday, department officials said.
