Tax payment


This query is : Resolved 

18 September 2017 Dear Experts

We have raised invoice by charging 18% gst in the month of August however we have recd only 30 % payment from the party till 15 sept..the supply of service is already completed & this 30% is not an advance.
So weather we have to pay GSt on 30% i.e amt recd or on Invoice Amt..??

Regards
Priyank

18 September 2017 You have to pay on invoice amt

18 September 2017 Thank you Mam..
But this is something harsh provision for Supplier because Even if he doesn't received a single penny of Rupees he still have to pay tax from his pocket..

18 September 2017 Yes its wrong but there is also provision in act that of you dont receive amt within 6 month you have to reverse such amt..

18 September 2017 Ok. Can you plz refer me that section also.
And thank you for solving my Concerned issue.

18 September 2017 Will reply you shortly.

26 July 2025 Hi Priyank,

The relevant provision under GST regarding payment of tax on invoice value even if full payment is not received is as follows:

* **GST is payable on the invoice value at the time of supply**, regardless of whether you have received the payment or not. This means you need to pay GST on the full invoice amount when you raise the invoice.

* However, **if the payment is not received within 6 months from the date of issue of invoice**, you have to **reverse the proportionate Input Tax Credit (ITC)** availed on that amount. This is covered under **Section 34(3) of the CGST Act, 2017** (similar provisions in SGST and IGST Acts).

In other words:

* You pay GST upfront on the invoice value.
* If you don’t receive payment within 6 months, you reverse ITC on the unpaid amount, and when payment is finally received, you can reclaim the ITC.

This mechanism ensures tax is paid upfront but also provides relief if payment remains unrealized for a long time.
