GST Update on ITC passed on by Input Service Distributor through GSTR-6

Goods and Services Tax – GST – By: – Pradeep Jain – Dated:- 14-11-2017 – Under GST regime, head office of a company is treated as a distinct person requiring separate registration as input service distributor (ISD) if it intends to distribute the credit. In such a case, separate return is being prescribed in form GSTR-6 which is supposed to be filed monthly between the 10th to 13th of subsequent month. The invoices on which ITC is distributed by the ISD are filed by it in GSTR-6. These details will auto-populate in form GSTR-2A of the recipient unit, which when accepted will be included in GSTR-2. While GST is in its transitional phase as of now, there is no utility of GSTR-6, neither online nor offline. Therefore, ISDs are not able to fil

he utility of GSTR-6 is not available and GSTR-2 are in process of filing and in some cases already filed, the above stated anomalies have serious effects. If the option of availing the ITC through manual filing in GSTR-2 is not given, whether the ITC legitimately available will lapse? If this facility is provided, how the correlation of ITC at ISD's end will be possible? This problem will particularly arise where the number of recipient units is on higher side. More the recipient units, more are the chances of errors. Suppose, the manual submission by recipient unit is allowed in GSTR-2 and the ISD return is not filed and the recipient unit I, III and IV showed the correct amounts; but unit II showed an incorrect amount.

No. S/20-07/AG/GST/17-18 Dated: 14.11.2017 PUBLIC NOTICE No. 57/2017 Subject: Refund of IGST paid on export of goods under Rule 96 of CGST Rules, 2017. Attention of all Exporters, Customs Brokers, Members of the Trade and Industry and other stakeholder is invited towards CBE & C's Circular No. 42/2017-Customs dated 07.11.2017 regarding refund of IGST paid on export of goods under Rule 96 of CGST Rules, 2017. 2.

ted in GSTR 1 either does not exist or it pertains to another exporter. In respect of these claims, the only way out is to amend the GSTR 1 (Amendments to taxable outward supply details furnished in returns for earlier tax periods) and enter the correct shipping bill number. In these cases, the amendments for information furnished in GSTR 1 for July 2017 need to be filed in Table 9A of GSTR 1 for August 2017. GSTN has been asked to provide for immediate implementation of this Table so that all such claims can be processed once amendment is filed. ii) Invoice number and IGST paid amount mis-match Analysis of data revealed that exporters have quoted different invoice numbers for GST and Customs purposes. Also, IGST paid amount indicated in GSTR 1 is not tallying with IGST paid amount indicated in shipping bill. As the same transaction is being reported under GST Act and under Customs Act, the exporters may take care to ensure the details of invoice, such as Invoice number, IGST paid etc,
