1. GST Applies Only from the Registration Date
Any sales made prior to your GST registration date are considered “pre-GST” sales—they are not subject to GST and should not be reported in any GST return. Only sales made on or after the date of GST registration must be included in GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B.
2. Input Tax Credit (ITC) Eligibility
ITC can be claimed for purchases made on or after your GST registration date, subject to standard rules and documentation.
However, pre-registration purchases are not eligible for ITC.
3. Why the Rule Exists
This treatment honors the principle of GST as a forward-looking tax—liability and credits apply only from the date of becoming a taxable person under GST. Including pre-registration transactions would undermine the very foundation of this consumption-based tax structure.
No, your client cannot issue GST credit notes for pre-registration invoices nor re-issue GST invoices for that period. GST applies prospectively only, from the date of registration.
