Pl. elaborate your query. Full facts are required. Period ? Nature of service ? Constitution of the firm ?

If any tax has been paid wrongly, refund of that amount of tax can be claimed under the category of 'excess payment of tax' under Section 54 (8)(e) of CGST Act but ITC availed has to be reversed first.

You may have to reverse ITC and apply for refund. If its a tax not liable refund should be eligible.

Show the tax paid wrongly as a receivable in your books and balance sheet.

Thanks for Your Reply Sir. Is Jobwork service received by the Registered person from the Unregistered person covered under RCM. Will you please explain this with relevant section or Notification or Circular.

As per Section 143(2) of CGST Act, 'Principal' is responsible for the goods/inputs/semi-finished sent for job work. Principal (owner) is also responsible for payment of tax.
