TMI BlogITC Reversals in GSTR3BX X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... This is the case of a hospital clinic filing under QRMP scheme. While filing GSTR-3B , the Gross input tax credit comes from GSTR-2B . Credit which cannot be taken has to be reversed. We have 2 options to reverse credit. First option is to reverse u/s 42 and 43 . Another option is to reverse under Other Reversals So the questions are: i) There are input goods/services that are fully used to supply exempt services. Under which of the 2 options above is such ITC to be reversed. ii) What reversal is to be shown in Other Reversals? iii) Whether instead of considering reversals,we need to consider such credits are ineligible credits? - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = Sh.Prem Gomathy Ji, You are required to reve .....

It is ineligible credit. - Reply By Prem Gomathy - The Reply = Dear Kasturi Sir, If that's the case, we might have to show net credit in 4A(5). This would mean that we ignore the Gross Credit that comes from GSTR 2B in 4A(5) and replace that with the net credit. This is because net credit would always be 4A-4B. Another contradiction will be that Rule 42 and Rule 43(4B1) covers the credits pertain to inputs on purchases used for providing exempt and taxable services (Common Credit). If we follow the method of reversing only in 4D92), we have to leave both 4B(1) and 4B(2) as empty. Wont this be an issue. - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = All these are pr .....

Main concern is that there should be no revenue loss to Govt.ITC must be as per Sections 16 and 17 . Act is to be preferred to Rules. 2A, 2B, 3B are under Rules. You are to go by the Act, if Rules or common portal is not in consonance with the Act. - Reply By ABHISHEK TRIPATHI - The Reply = Dear Sir, It may sound silly, but I have a doubt. Which provision bars ITC for exempt supplies? For instance, my all my inputs are used for supply exempted goods, in such a situation, statutorily how I will be ineligible for ITC?

Pl. quench my thirst. - Reply By ABHISHEK TRIPATHI - The Reply = Dear KS Sir, Basic understanding of indirect tax, the querist should reverse ITC on exempted supplies. But, my view may sound absurd, see S. 17(2) it ask for the reversal of common credit. In case when the querist is solely supply exempted goods then whether S. 17(2) will be applicable? S. 17(2) is reversal for common credit not sole credit on exempted supply. The above view is not asking the querist not to reverse, in common parlance everyone is re .....

I dont think 17(2) is the answer. - Reply By Prem Gomathy - The Reply = Dear Abhishek sir, That again is my first question. Where to reverse the inputs fully used to supply exempt services. As per talk with officials and the industry practice is to reverse. But there is no consensus as to where to show the reversal.. If it is to be done as per KS Sirs point, only net credit is to be shown in Table 4A(5) , thereby ignoring the gross credit accumulating therein automatically through GSTR-2B . And the difference is to be shown in 4D(2). But such is not the industry practice. Industry practic .....

In 4B(1), the common credits are considered(Inputs for supply of exempt and taxable outward supplies). If for example, out of ₹ 100 total common credit, only 40 is eligible, the common credit that cannot be taken.. that is 60 is reversed in 4B(1). But what is to be reversed in 4B(2)? Is it Input exclusively used for providing exempt output? (As partial exempt and partial taxable are already reversed in 4B(2). Table 4A-4B of GSTR-3B gives the net credit available for utilization.

The Govt. should issue a classificatory circular specifying the data that should be furnished by the taxpayer in relevant table of the returns. In absence of such clarity the taxpayer is free to chose the method keeping the Act, Rule in mind. Ultimately the taxpayer should claim eligible ITC only. - Reply By Punit Agarwal - The Reply = In my view and as stated in Rule 42(1)(h) commo .....

First Method - Its not reversal, its bifurcation of eligible and ineligible credits. Issue with this is that 4A,B,C are one set [Eligible Credit] and 4D is another [Ineligible Credit]. This set is definitely made for common credits. You should not ignore the gross credit from 2B. That gross credit is there because eventually you deduct the common credit used and reach to Net Credit (i.e., 4C-Net Credit). This is very complicated way, will suggest to avoid. 2. Second Method - It is actual reversal {as industry is opting} - you should opt for this. 4B(2), possible for totall .....
