Sir,

As per the instruction given in Form GSTR-9C with regard to Table 5N of the said form "Any difference between the turnover reported in the Annual Return (GSTR-9) and turnover reported in the audited Annual Financial Statement due to foreign exchange fluctuations shall be declared here. This means if there is any change in the value of turnover shown GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C due to foreign exchange fluctuations is to be shown here. It does not require you to show the gains/loss made by you due to foreign exchange fluctuations.

Dear Mr Ashish,

The following is the test of the Technical Guide on GSTR-9C by ICAI for Point No. 5N .

Please refer Page 67 of the Technical Guide on GSTR 9C. The reason given by the ICAI is self explanatory.

Sl. No. 5N.

Adjustments in turnover due to foreign exchange fluctuations 5N Adjustments in turnover due to foreign exchange fluctuations (+/-) Table No. Instructions 5N Any difference between the turnover reported in the Annual Return (GSTR-9) and turnover reported in the audited Annual Financial Statement due to foreign exchange fluctuations shall be declared here. Introduction Forex Transactions are accounted in the books of accounts based on Accounting Standard 11 whereas Rule 34 of the CGST Rules require

1. The value of taxable goods to be determined on the basis of the exchange rate notified under Section 14 of the Customs Act;

2. The value of taxable services is to be determined on the basis of the applicable rate of exchange determined as per generally accepted accounting principles for the date of time of supply of such services in terms of Section 13 of the CGST Act Since the exchange rates applied to forex amounts for accounting purposes are different from the exchange rates applied for determining the value of taxable goods and services, there could be a difference between the turnover recorded in the books when compared with the turnover declared for the purpose of GST returns.

dear sir,

as per my view, your AFS is containing the details of FE gain or loss in GSTR-9C you need to show the details net of gain/loss in FE account which hits your AFS turnover to derive the actual taxable turnover as compared to annual return GSTR-9.

[MaruthiRam Gullapalli]

It has to be disclosed in table 5F (as per description mentioned in table 5F and its instructions)
