Section 42 - Matching, reversal and reclaim of input tax credit.

Input tax credit matching required; discrepancies add to recipient's output tax liability, reclaimable if supplier corrects.

Matching reconciles a recipient's claimed input tax credit with suppliers' outward returns and import tax payments; matched claims are accepted. Discrepancies or duplicate claims are communicated to both parties. Unrectified discrepancies are added to the recipient's output tax liability in the return for the month following communication; duplication adds liability in the month of communication. The recipient may reverse additions if the supplier files the invoice within the prescribed time, and interest on added amounts is payable by the recipient until additions are made, with interest refunds creditable up to the interest paid by the supplier.
