Tax Credit Dispute Resolved: Petitioner's GSTR 3B Compliance Leads to Order Quashing and Fresh Assessment Directive
HC quashed the order dated 11.07.2023 regarding Input Tax Credit (ITC) reversal after finding the petitioner had already reversed ITC in GSTR 3B return. The court remanded the case, directing the assessing officer to reconsider the matter, provide a personal hearing, and issue a fresh assessment order within two months after receiving the petitioner's reply.
Issues: Challenge to an order dated 11.07.2023 regarding Input Tax Credit (ITC) reversal in GSTR 3B return for the assessment year 2021-2022.
The petitioner had purchased a car and wrongly availed ITC, which was subsequently reversed in the GSTR 3B return. Despite the reversal, the impugned order was issued. The petitioner pointed out the reversal amounts in the return and subsequent debits from the electronic credit ledger. The respondent, unaware of the reversal, issued the impugned order based on the assumption that ITC was not reversed.
The High Court examined the documents provided by the petitioner, which clearly showed the reversal of ITC in the GSTR 3B return. The impugned order incorrectly proceeded on the basis that ITC was not reversed, necessitating reconsideration of the matter. Consequently, the court quashed the order dated 11.07.2023 and remanded the case for reconsideration. The petitioner was granted permission to file a reply to the show cause notice and submit all relevant documents within two weeks. The assessing officer was directed to provide a reasonable opportunity to the petitioner, including a personal hearing, and issue a fresh assessment order within two months from the date of receiving the petitioner's reply.
The writ petition was disposed of with no costs, and connected miscellaneous petitions were closed.
