Problem facing in adjustment of Negative Tax Liability carried forward from Jun2024

This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A GST dealer is encountering problems carrying forward a negative IGST tax liability that arose from credit notes issued in May and June 2024. The new GST portal feature for negative liabilities, introduced in September 2024, does not recognise balances from before this date. The user needs advice on how to correctly adjust and reclaim this pre-September negative IGST balance, as it's not being reflected in their GSTR-3B filings.

21 October 2024 Sir / Madam,

We are regular Dealer in GST

In May24 GSTR1 return we have entered a credit note (sales Return – party sent a part portion of consignment) for the sales we made in Apr24 in table no 9B (Credit / Debit Note Registered)
As there was no other liability in IGST tax it shows as negative liability in Total of GSTR1 return.
But in GSTR3B zero in IGST Tax Column as there was no IGST liability.

Again in Jun24 GSTR1 we have entered another credit note (sales Return -party sent another part portion of consignment) for the sales we made in Apr24 in table 9B(Credit / Debit Note Registered) but this month we have Igst tax liability to some extent and not cover the full liability, so the total of GSTR1 shows a negative liability in IGST tax after adjusting the IGST tax liability in that month.

But in Jun24 GSTR3B also zero in IGST tax column as there was a little IGST tax liability not covering the negative IGST tax liability in the credit note which was raised in Jun24.
Since then we do not have IGST tax liability till Aug2024.

In September 2024 we have some IGST tax liability to offset the negative liability there was no provision in filing the GSTR3B.

By googling, we find there was a service added in the GST site like Negative Liability for Regular (previously only for composite dealers is available)from September2024 But it does not consider the opening balance on the date 01.09.2024 and we cannot explore before that date) In Our case the negative liability occurs before 01.09.2024(in May’24 and Jun’24) Hence we could not brought forward the negative liability.

Hence we file our Sep24 GSTR3B we offset the negative liability as we can claim like ITC reversed earlier. Now the reclaimable statement shows a negative balance in IGST claim column.

Kindly advise us how to rectify the same.

A Lot of Thanks in Advance

With Warm Regards,
Bazeer L

01 December 2024 Reach out to the GST helpdesk or raise a formal query through the GST portal about handling negative liabilities that occurred before 01.09.2024. If the new GST site service doesn't recognize your pre-01.09.2024 negative liabilities, you'll need specific technical support from GST authorities. Request specific guidance on how to adjust these pre-September 2024 negative liabilities.
As of September 2024, new rules allow taxpayers to report negative liabilities directly in GSTR-3B under Table No. 3, which can be carried forward to subsequent months. This change aims to simplify the reconciliation process and reduce manual record-keeping errors.

07 December 2024 Thank you very much Sir to your suggestion / guidance.

07 December 2024 You are welcome.
