07 July 2024 If a GST registered composite dealer made a mistake in the CMP-08 for FY 2019-20 by not reporting sales turnover in Table 6 of GSTR-4 annual return, and subsequently, in FY 2020-21, they showed negative liability in Table 8 of GSTR-4, here's how adjustments can typically be handled under GST regulations:

1. **Adjustment for CMP-08 Mistake (FY 2019-20):**
- Since the sales turnover was not reported correctly in CMP-08 for FY 2019-20, and assuming it was under-reported or incorrectly reported, adjustments can generally be made in the subsequent years' returns to correct the error.
- As per GST rules, adjustments for any errors or omissions in previous returns can be rectified in the subsequent returns, provided they are within the prescribed time limits.

2. **Adjustment in GSTR-4 for FY 2020-21:**
- In FY 2020-21, when filing GSTR-4, the dealer showed negative liability in Table 8 (refund claimed or excess paid), which suggests that adjustments were made to correct the tax liabilities or credits.
- Adjustments related to under-reported turnover in FY 2019-20 can be corrected in FY 2020-21's GSTR-4 return. This adjustment would typically involve correcting the turnover figures and ensuring that the tax paid aligns correctly with the corrected turnover.

3. **Legal Provisions:**
- The GST law allows for rectification of errors in returns through subsequent returns, provided the error is within a permissible timeframe and is not intentional tax evasion.
- Section 37 of the CGST Act, 2017, provides for rectification of errors in monthly or quarterly returns, including adjustments for under-reported turnover or incorrect tax payments.

4. **Process:**
- To adjust the mistake in CMP-08 for FY 2019-20, the dealer should ensure that the correct turnover figures are reported in the subsequent GSTR-4 for FY 2020-21.
- The adjustment should reflect the correct sales turnover figures, and any additional tax liability or refund entitlement should be calculated based on the corrected data.

In conclusion, adjustments for under-reported turnover in CMP-08 for FY 2019-20 can be made in the subsequent years' GSTR-4 returns, such as FY 2020-21, following the provisions of the GST law regarding error rectification and adjustment of tax liabilities. It's advisable to consult with a GST expert or tax consultant to ensure compliance with GST regulations and to accurately rectify any errors in the GST filings.
