About
EY DigiGST is a comprehensive GST compliance technology solution built by Ernst & Young (EY) specifically for the Indian tax landscape. Designed for businesses of all sizes, it streamlines the complex Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance process through intelligent automation, data reconciliation, and real-time reporting capabilities. The platform addresses one of the most challenging aspects of Indian indirect taxation — the reconciliation of purchase data with GSTN (GST Network) filings. It automates the matching of invoices, identifies discrepancies, and helps businesses ensure accurate Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims, reducing exposure to compliance risks and penalties. Key capabilities include automated GST reconciliation between GSTR-2A/2B and purchase registers, seamless integration with ERP systems, real-time dashboards for compliance health monitoring, and guided workflows for filing returns. The solution also supports multi-GSTIN management, making it ideal for large enterprises with multiple business units or locations across India. EY DigiGST is part of EY's broader India Tax Platform, which includes Digicorporatetax and the AI Tax Hub. It is best suited for CFOs, tax managers, finance teams, and large enterprises seeking to reduce manual compliance workloads, improve accuracy in tax filings, and stay audit-ready at all times.
