Question: can a tax auditor do gst audit?
Answer: ICAI has clarified that 'internal auditor' of an entity can't undertake 'GST Audit' of the same entity due to role conflict of Internal Auditor and Statutory Auditor. Besides, bar on 'internal auditor' to accept 'tax audit' (under Income Tax) will also be applicable to 'GST Audit' (under CGST Act 2017).
