Debate on Double GST Payment: Adjust in FY 19-20 or Seek Refund? Experts Suggest Refund. A discussion on a forum addresses a query about Goods and Services Tax (GST) paid twice on an advance received for services in FY 18-19. The issue is whether the excess GST can be adjusted in FY 19-20 or if a refund should be claimed. Four contributors suggest claiming a refund. One participant references legal provisions and a circular, indicating that the excess could have been adjusted by the due date for September 2019 returns. If not adjusted, they recommend disclosing the issue in the annual returns for FY 18-19 and applying for a refund. (AI Summary)
