Shopkeer is not willing to pay gst

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you return a purchased item, you should be entitled to a refund of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) paid. The shopkeeper can adjust this by issuing a credit note against their next sale, rather than keeping the GST amount. The seller's refusal to refund the GST is incorrect, and they should consult a tax advisor for clarification.

15 February 2023 He can reduce the liability in his next sale via credit note. His contention of not returning gst is not correct. But some vendors do such thing.
