The National Academy of Customs, Indirect Taxes and Narcotics (NACIN) and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) focused on the capacity building of GST officers.

The MoU, signed by NACIN's Principal Additional Director General Rajendra Singh and ICAI Secretary Jai Batra, is set to foster cooperation in areas such as research, policy assistance, and consulting. This strategic collaboration aims at leveraging the strengths of both organizations for optimum results.

While NACIN, the training arm of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), provides specialized training to officers, ICAI disseminates extensive knowledge on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) through its GST and indirect taxes committee. The partnership is expected to significantly enhance the skills of GST officers, thus improving overall tax administration and benefiting taxpayers. ICAI's GST & Indirect Taxes Committee chairman Sushil Kumar Goyal emphasized the crucial role of their resources and expertise in supporting NACIN.
