This discussion addresses a common GST query where sales are recorded at 18% but investors are filing returns at 12%. The advice given is to first verify the correct GST rate applicable to the product or service. If the rate is indeed 12%, accounts should be rectified. If the rate is 18%, the difference of 6% must be recovered from the purchaser or borne by the business, as direct claims from the government for such discrepancies are not possible.

Check whether GST rate over the product is 12% or 18%. If 12%, rectify your accounts. If 18%, get the excess amount from the purchaser.
