This discussion clarifies how to correctly report revenue and Goods and Services Tax (GST) within the Profit & Loss (P&L) section of the ITR3 form. The user was unsure whether to include GST in their gross receipts and how to account for GST paid back to the government. The advice given is to report gross revenue from services and then debit the collected GST amounts under 'Rates or taxes, paid or payable to Government' in the P&L. This ensures accurate reporting and avoids potential issues with tax assessments.

in form ITR3, while filling up P&L, I enter revenue from services as 100,000
A Sales/ Gross receipts of business (net of returns and refunds and duty or tax, if any)
ii Sale of services = 100,00
C Duties, taxes and cess received or receivable in respect of goods and services sold or supplied
iv Central Goods & Service Tax (CGST) - 9,000
v State Goods & Services Tax (SGST)- 9000
and it shows revenue as 118K it includes GST ( but GST is paid back to GOI
D Total Revenue from operations (Aiv + B +Cix) 4D = 118,000
so should I enter in the GST paid as under,
I enter in debits to P & L Account the taxes which I simply collected but paid back to Govt? as under
44 Rates or taxes, paid or payable to Government or any local body (excluding taxes on income)
v Central Goods & Service Tax (CGST) - 9,000
vi State Goods & Service Tax (SGST) - 9,000
previous year I had not filled up sec.44 and the IT assessment order I received is as I filled and doesn't include the GST I paid to the GOI.. ultimately, profit is more
