GST on Advance

[Ashiesh Prremji]

Dear Sir,

Please suggest if advance received & liability adjustment against such advances not shown in GST Returns filed up to Feb 20 for FY 19-20, whether we can show it in March GSTR 1 in Table 11A of Amended Advance Tax Liability & accordingly Amended Advance adjustment in Table 11B for related month ? If not, then how to report such transactions in GST Returns ?

Another one, after above adjustment still some advance not exhausted up to March, whether we need to show in March 20 GSTR-1 & pay GST on the same ?

Last one, How we need to compute interest liability for the same ??

I would be grateful if could suggest me.

Thank You,

Dear Sir,

You can amend the same in the subsequent GST returns.

Further, you can go on adjusting the transactions of 19-20 till the return for the period September 2020.

Section 37(3) proviso and 39(9) proviso r/w circular 26/2017

Interest would be calculated on net cash payable form the date of receipt of such advance till the date of payment of tax.

AI Summary

GST on advances: amend subsequent returns to adjust advances within the extended period; interest on net cash payable until tax payment. Advances omitted from earlier GST returns can be amended and adjusted in subsequent returns within the extended filing cut off; unadjusted advances beyond that period must be reported and taxed in the applicable return. Interest is computed on the net cash payable from receipt of the advance until tax payment.
