My query is that Companies Act talks about adding gst to turnover, but CBDT considers it wrong to add gst to turnover. If I maintain the turnover according to the Companies Act, can there be any problem tomorrow from any department?

Generally, assesses maintain GST ledger separately, as the same is collected on behalf of Government. For GST and Income tax returns the GST figures are required separately, and turnover for IT & GST is always exclusive of GST.

"From the above discussion, it can be concluded that the amount of GST in such cases need to be ignored for the following reason: (a) While collecting the GST, Assessee is acting as an agent of the Government and not on his own account. (b) Section 145A begins with the word “For the purpose of determining the income chargeable under the head “Profits and gains of business or profession” which makes this provision inapplicable for other purposes. In short, for the purpose of section 44AD, 44AB, 44ADA, this treatment is not relevant. (c) The amount of GST is debited / credited to altogether different accounts which are now forming the part of the Credit side of Profit & Loss Account. The issue is controversial for the simple reason that section 145A provides for its inclusions. Unless the CBDT clarifies the meaning of the word “turnover”, the issue would remain controversial and disputable."
