A business received an incorrect invoice from a supplier, overcharging on input GST. The supplier has promised to amend it next month. The user is seeking advice on how to treat the excess input tax in the current month: should it be reversed, claimed fully with a future adjustment, or handled via book adjustments? The consensus leans towards waiting for the supplier's amendment next month to avoid complex current-month reversals and subsequent adjustments.
