ITC Reversed

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a situation where Input Tax Credit (ITC) was claimed in December 2019 but the supplier's payment was delayed due to COVID-19. The user needs to reverse the ITC and pay GST with interest in August 2020. Experts clarify that the credit should be reversed under the same head it was claimed (IGST or CGST/SGST). Interest is calculated at 18% from the date of availing ITC until reversal, though COVID-19 relaxations may extend the 180-day period for reversal.

17 September 2020 Dear Experts, we have taken ITC in Dec-2019 GSTR 3B as per below :-
Output : IGST @18% = 285260/-
Less : Input : CGST@18% = 113126/-
SGST@18% = 113126/-
And we have paid balance payment through cash ledger.
Now due to Covid-19 & crisis of funds, we have not made the payment to this dealer
till today. And we have to reversed GST with interest in Aug-20 GSTR-3B.

1) Kindly suggest us which GST we have to reversed either IGST or CGST + SGST.
2) Interest Rate? Is the interest period start after 180 days. i.e. if we delay by 195 days.
we have to pay interest for 15 days.

I am not clear & confused about the above facts. Kindly suggest me what will the remedy.

Regards,

Rakesh Sharma

18 September 2020 1. PERIOD OF 180 DAYS IS TO BE CALCULATED FROM THE DATE OF CONCERNED INVOICE(S).
2. CREDIT TO BE REVERSED UNDER THE SAME HEAD UNDER WHICH IT WAS AVAILED.
3. INTEREST IS TO BE CALCULATED FROM THE DATE OF AVAILING ITC ( 20TH jAN 2020 IN YOUR CASE) TILL THE CREDIT IS REVERSED IN GSTR3B.
4. THE RATE OF INTEREST WILL BE 18%.
5. YOUR CASE WILL ALSO FALL WITHIN THE RELAXATIONS GIVEN BY THE GOVT DUE TO COVID-19. THAT MEANS YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EXTENDED PERIOD WHILE CALCULATING THE PERIOD OF 180 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF INVOICES.PLEASE CHECK ON THIS.
