GSTR 3B Table 4 Simplified



Quick Summary
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council has updated the reporting format for Table 4 of GSTR 3B, effective from 1st September 2022. This update aims to simplify the process of reporting Input Tax Credit (ITC). The revised table clarifies how to report total available ITC, reversals, net ITC, and other disclosure details, making it easier for businesses to comply with GST regulations.

CBIC vide Notification No. 14/2022 - Central Tax dt. 5th July 2022 read with Circular No. 170/02/2022-GST dt. 6th July 2022 updated the reporting format for GSTR 3B Table 4. The said change was made live on the GST portal from 1st Sep 2022 onwards i.e. Aug 2022 return period. As the process to compute the values to be populated in the tables 4A, 4B & 4D is a bit complicated, the same has been simplified in the following table.
