Goods and Services Tax – Started By: – Sandeep Yadav – Dated:- 3-1-2019 Last Replied Date:- 5-1-2019 – XYZ. Ltd(supplier) has given price difference to ABC Ltd.(recipient) by issuing a non gst document, because as per Sec15 discount which has not been agreed at the time of supply cannot be reduced from the value of supply.( This is also clarified from advance ruling sought by UltraTech Cement.). Now ABC Ltd. has not reversed the ITC proportionate to price diff received from XYZ.Ltd. ABC Ltd. has shown the price diff as its income in P&L A/C. My questions are: 1.
