In a significant leap forward in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) ecosystem, the GST Common Portal has unveiled a ground breaking new facility, the Invoice Management System (IMS), revolutionizing the way recipient taxpayers interact with invoices. This innovative feature empowers taxpayers to seamlessly accept, reject, or keep invoices pending in the system to avail later as and when required, streamlining the reconciliation process, and ensuring greater accuracy and efficiency in GST compliance.

The new system shall facilitate taxpayers in matching their records/invoices vis a vis issued by their suppliers for availing the correct Input Tax Credit (ITC). This facility is set to transform the way businesses manage their GST obligations, reducing errors, and saving time and resources. For a detailed draft manual Please Click Here.

Please Note – this is a draft manual and the final version shall be published later.

Thanks,

Invoice Management System (IMS) enables taxpayers to accept, reject, or keep invoices pending, affecting ITC and GSTR-2B. The Invoice Management System allows recipient taxpayers to accept, reject, or mark supplier-reported invoices as pending to facilitate invoice-level reconciliation for claiming Input Tax Credit. Records with no recipient action are deemed accepted and included in the draft GSTR-2B; actions are optional for GSTR-2B generation but may be changed until filing of Form GSTR-3B. The IMS provides inward and outward dashboards, search and filter functionality, Excel download, reset of actions, and a recompute mechanism for draft GSTR-2B.
