GST I.T.C. CLAIM IN WRONG HEAD F.Y.2017-18 IN DEC-2017 3B RETURN

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A taxpayer mistakenly claimed CGST and SGST instead of IGST on their GST return for FY 2017-18 due to an accounting error. This has resulted in a DRC-01A notice from the department. The query seeks advice on how to reply to this notice and how to claim a refund for the IGST that was underclaimed. The discussion suggests that in the initial years of GST, such errors might be viewed leniently by courts, as there hasn't been a mis-utilisation of credit, referencing a similar case heard by the Madras High Court.

08 August 2023 Courts would give a lenient view. However, one stand which can be taken is that by availing as CGST and SGST credit instead of IGST, there has been no mis-utilisation of credit

And initial years of GST these lapses should not be taken too seriously to put the taxpayer in disadvantageous position..

The issue considered by Madras High Court in Sun Dye Chem on 06-10-2020 in WP 29676 of 2019
