Can a footwear manufacturer issue credit notes without reversing GST after claiming a refund under the inverted duty structure? A discussion on a forum regarding the issuance of credit notes without reversing GST under the inverted duty structure. The initial query was about whether a footwear manufacturer could issue credit notes without reversing GST, given that a refund had already been claimed. Opinions varied: one expert stated it was not possible, while another agreed, emphasizing the impracticality of benefiting from both scenarios.
