Dear experts,
One of my client had supplied and installed software to the customer and billed in the month of Dec 2016 , Feb and March 2017. When we approach the payment now from the customer it was not accounted in the previous year. Now they are asking them to issue GST invoice . If my client issue GST invoice with GST tax now , then this will be double taxation on same goods. How to get refund from the earlier tax remittance. Is there any way out of getting refund from the government.
It's very urgent. Thanks in advance
Client Urged to Provide Duplicate Invoices for Pre-GST Services to Avoid Double Taxation; Refund Application Advised A client supplied and installed software in December 2016, February 2017, and March 2017, prior to the implementation of GST. The customer is now requesting a GST invoice, which would result in double taxation. To address this, an expert suggests applying for a refund manually with the jurisdictional Assistant/Deputy Commissioner, as the service was provided and billed in the pre-GST era. Another expert advises that since GST was not applicable during those months, the client should provide duplicate copies of the original invoices to claim payment from the customer without issuing a new GST invoice.
