GST ON IMPORT OF GOODS

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies how to handle GST on imported goods when using a third-party like FedEx. The IGST paid by FedEx on your behalf for the import should be claimed as Input Tax Credit (ITC) under 'Import of Goods' in GSTR 3B, specifically in column 4(A)(1). This amount is paid under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) and will not appear in your 2A statement, but you can still claim the credit without mismatch issues.

10 March 2020 It seems, there are two different transactions involve. First is an import from US where you will show IGST on RCM and that will reflect in 3(1)(d). and also in 4(A((1) Eligible ITC on import

Other one is freight payment to FedEx on forward charge basis . GST components of payment to FedEx will reflect in 4(A)(5) - All other Eligible ITC.

10 March 2020 Yes Its Correct as i practicing on this but the FEDEX charged me 21736.16 in its invoice.. and i paid 21736.16 to them...
so do i need to pay second time??? or do i have to direclty claim in In Eligible ITC in column no 4(A((1).because i told them that we have to pay GST on RCM basis.so we will pay Igst.. but they told me that you have to pay IGST to them...

10 March 2020 No need to pay second time. FEDEX is your agent. See bill of entry your name will be there. You have to direclty claim it In Eligible ITC in column no 4(A((1).

15 March 2020 ok understand..but my 2A Will not reflecting this that Fedex has paid My gst.. so there may be a chances for Credit mismatch on Gst Portal(3B vs 2A)..Because as per my think, they will not upload Invoice because they had not issue a Invoice to us.

15 March 2020 This is GST paid under RCM it will not reflect in 2A.
Claim ITC under imports in GSTR 3 b. No need of 2A credit for such ITC. No credit mismatch will arise.
All RCM payments 2A credit not required.
