GST Returns

[shreya singal]

Hi, everyone... I have some purchases in july and paid GST on that using GSTIN which I got. But due to some reasons(I didn't get Login credentials back then along with GSTIN) they cancelled my previous number and I created new one in August. Now the purchases which I made in July...can I claim ITC on them in August. Because now I cannot file return for July as my registration is considered to be done in August. Pls, tell me how to claim ITC of those July month's purchases.

[KASTURI SETHI]

You can take ITC for July, 17 in August, 17. While filing GSTR 3B and other Returns for August, you can claim ITC. Your supplier will upload his sale invoice (your purchase) and on this basis you will get ITC for July. You will not suffer loss on account of not claiming ITC in July due to technical reasons. It is your legal right. Basis is uploading of invoice by your supplier.

I agree with Sri Kasturi Sir 's view. Sir, in July 2017 you had another GST number. This number you would have shared with your suppliers. Those suppliers would have uploaded GSTR 1 by showing your previous number. The credit will reflect in your purchase detail in GSTR 2 autopopulated.

Now, that you have changed the number, the matching mechanism will not work.

You need to ask your suppliers to mention your new number in their invoices. By which when they file return the tax will auto populate in your new number and you will be able to claim the credit. Thanks.

Procedure has been explained beautifully by Sh.Ganesh Kalyani, an expert.

Thanks you Sir. Your appreciation matters me a lot. Thanks.

The views expressed by Shri Ghanesan are correct.

Change of gstn is a matter of concern. The process Sri kalyaniji is the only method.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

There is facility to correct the detail submitted in GSTR 1 i.e. sales data. Your supplier would have filed the said return. Or you may confirm with him. Since the due date is extended to 10th of October 2017 he may not have submitted. If not submitted then you can ask him to mention your correct latest number. Upon mentioning your correct number, the detail and credit will auto populate in your GSTR 2. The due date of submitting the said return is 31st October 2017. Hence you may procedurally take corrective action.

The purpose of giving practical solution is that GSTN is under going changes/improvement. Department o oofficials are also not in a position to support tax payers. The customer care helpdesk is also able to resolve certain problems. In the midst of that if you ask them how the credit in the shown in old number be reflected or passed on to your new number, then in my view it will take your considerable and allot you stress till the issue is resolved.

Hence, the practical or procedural remedy is the good solution, i believe. Thanks.

AI Summary

Input Tax Credit claimability after GST registration change depends on supplier invoice upload and GSTR 1 correction.
The taxpayer can claim post-period Input Tax Credit (ITC) where the supplier uploads or corrects sales invoices in GSTR 1 showing the recipient's correct GSTIN; after the supplier files or amends GSTR 1 the purchase details auto-populate into the recipient's GSTR 2, enabling the recipient to claim ITC in the later return. The procedural remedy requires coordinating with suppliers to quote the new GSTIN or amend previously filed GSTR 1 within the applicable filing window.
