Reverse of ITC for nonpayment

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the process for reversing Input Tax Credit (ITC) when a customer fails to make payment. The consensus is that the buyer is responsible for reversing ITC and paying the GST via Form DRC-03, especially if payment isn't received within 180 days. While suppliers have paid GST to the government, recovering dues from the non-paying customer remains their responsibility, and GST officers may not directly intervene in this recovery process.

15 September 2021 This is not ITC to the supplier. This is a liability of the supplier who paid the GST to the government from his pocket because non receipt of the payment from the customer for the supplies made.

15 September 2021 I said that you need not to worry about ITC. Since you've already paid GST to the Government and the customer didn't pay within 180 days from the date of invoice, he only has to reverse the ITC. It is your duty to collect the value of supplies including GST from your customer. I hope you're cleared now.
