13 November 2025 Dear Members,
In GSTR 9C- Table 9 what is the amount to be reported: GST payable or GST paid?
In my case, I have received advances in the previous year and paid gst on it, now in current year I have raised invoices and adjusted the gst already paid earlier in gstr 1 as advances already paid and net amount was paid in current year. Now in Gstr 9C reporting what should I show in Table 9 of Gstr 9C since, in the previous year the amount as per books was shown as only gst payable amount not the tax paid in excess. In current year should I report the actual tax payable and mention in reconile that this is amount already paid or net off the gst paid on advances and show because the amount shown as paid in gstr 9 is less in comparison and this should not result in further tax payable.

13 November 2025 In GSTR 9C, Table 9 requires reporting the GST payable amount as per the audited financial statements, not just the GST paid during the year.

13 November 2025 You should report the GST payable on the current year invoices (net of the advances adjusted) in Table 9. In the reconciliation section of GSTR 9C, you should mention the details of GST paid on advances in the earlier year and how it was adjusted in the current year.

13 November 2025 - Report GST Payable as per Books:
- Show the full GST liability on invoices raised in FY 2024–25.
- This includes the portion already paid on advances in FY 2023–24.
- Report GST Paid as per GSTR-9:
- This will reflect only the net tax paid in FY 2024–25 (excluding advance tax paid earlier).
- Reconciliation Note:
- In the “Reasons for Difference” column, clearly mention:
- “GST on advances was paid in FY 2023–24 and adjusted in GSTR-1 of FY 2024–25. Hence, tax paid in GSTR-9 is lower than tax payable as per books.”
- No Additional Liability:
- Since the advance tax was already paid and adjusted, this reconciliation ensures no further tax is payable.
