Sales return reflected as purchase in 2A

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A business is facing an issue where a buyer's sales return is incorrectly appearing as a purchase in their GSTR-2A. Despite issuing a credit note for the sales return, the buyer has reported it as a sale to the original seller in their GSTR-1. The buyer is refusing to rectify this, claiming GST doesn't recognise sales returns and insisting it be treated as a purchase. This discrepancy needs a resolution to ensure accurate tax filings.

05 March 2020 The material was returned by the buyer. I filed the GSTR1 and details of credit note issued for Sales return was entered there.

Later on i found that in 2A the buyer has shown this sales return as sale to us and thus it is reflecting in our 2A as purchase..
Our buyer is insisting us to rectify it. What is the solution of it??

06 March 2020 This is the problem actually he is denying. He is saying that in GST there is no concept of Sales return. He said that you have to treat Sales return as purchase in your books... and so he filed his GSTR1 showing this material return as Sale to us...
