GST IMPLICATION ON DISCOUNT

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications when discounts are applied. If a seller issues an invoice with GST charged on the original price, deposits the full GST amount to the revenue, and the buyer's Input Tax Credit (ITC) reflects the full tax, then the buyer generally does not need to reduce their ITC, even if a discount is subsequently applied. The key is that the seller has fulfilled their GST liability to the government.
