The Visakhapatnam Customs & Central Tax Zone is headed by the Chief Commissioner of Customs and Central Tax,
and comprises of 7 Commissionerates, viz. Visakhapatnam Custom House, Customs Commissionerate (Preventive), Vijayawada,
Visakhapatnam CGST, Guntur CGST, Tirupati CGST, Guntur Appeals and Guntur Audit.
Earlier all the Commissionerates of erstwhile Hyderabad, Guntur and Vishakhapatnam Commissionerates
were under a single Zone. The Guntur Collectorate was formed in the year 1972
and the Visakhapatnam Collectorate in 1990. A separate Commissionerate of Customs was formed at Visakhapatnam in 1997.
Consequent to cadre restructuring in 2002, two Zones were formed
(i) Hyderabad Zone covering all the districts of Telangana region (ii) Visakhapatnam Zone
covering remaining districts of Rayalaseema and Coastal districts of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh.
Again, consequent upon the bifurcation of earlier state of Andhra Pradesh into Telangana
and Andhra Pradesh, CBEC reviewed the requirement of manpower and restructured the cadres in the year 2014
by creating separate Commissionerates of Customs, Central Excise,
Appeals and Audit under the Zone.

• Organizational Details: The Guntur CGST Audit Commissionerate was established on October 17, 2014, with the formation of five circles: Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Guntur, Nellore, and Tirupati, spanning the entire Visakhapatnam Zone.
• In the era of self-assessment, the compliance verification mechanism relies on three pillars: Enforcement, Scrutiny, and Audit. While dedicated CBIC field formations handle enforcement and scrutiny, audit responsibilities are entrusted to Audit Commissionerate. Tax Audits are conducted to identify non-compliance with tax laws, encourage voluntary compliance, and educate taxpayers about proper record-keeping and the application of tax laws.
• Guntur CGST Audit Commissionerate is one of 48 Audit Commissionerates across India, focused on compliance verification. This Commissionerate supports the Executive Commissionerates within the Visakhapatnam Zone, ensuring adherence to tax regulations. In addition to monitoring, supervising and controlling the audit of units allocated to various audit groups, this Commissionerate contributes to key Central Government initiatives, including:
. GST Readiness: Officers were equipped with the necessary training through dedicated GST sessions.
. Infrastructure Development: Efforts were made to enhance operational infrastructure.
. Swachh Bharat Mission: Active participation in the Clean India initiative.
• The Commissionerate remains committed to meeting performance standards holistically and sustainably.
• Conducting outreach programmes throughout the state of Andhra Pradesh to transmit the trade friendly initiatives of the Government in the areas of audit as well as other important legislative interventions.
