"non-transmission of invoices due to negative balance" - what is this?

Others 2821 views 10 replies

After submitting GSTR3B I have got this email from GSTN: 

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is with reference to the recent processing of export invoices for GSTIN XYZ. Please be informed that the invoices have failed validation at GST System, and haven't got transmitted to ICEGATE for further processing.

The GST System uses ledger based approach to validate if sum total of IGST/CESS paid under Table 3.1(b) of GSTR 3B across all periods is equal to, or greater than, the sum total of IGST/CESS from invoices under Tables 6A/9A/6B of GSTR 1 across all periods. The eligible invoices, having complete SB/Port details, are transmitted by the GST System only if such cumulative validation of IGST/CESS is successful.

The GST System does not transmit an eligible invoice to ICEGATE until the aforesaid validation is successful, i.e. the sum paid as IGST/CESS paid under Table 3.1(b) is greater than or equal to IGST/CESS from invoices under Tables 6A/9A/6B. The ledger shows the difference between these two which should be ZERO or positive) for invoices to be transmitted to ICEGATE.

For GSTIN XYZ, the present IGST difference is Rs.-176619 and the CESS difference is Rs.0.0. You may use table 3.1(b) of subsequent GSTR-3B to fulfil this difference and the GST System shall transmit invoices upon successful validation.

Please feel free to contact GST Taxpayer Helpdesk for any further questions.

Thanks & Regards
Team GSTN

Hi,


The mail explains that the Zero rated/ export invoices with payment of tax to be mentioned in -

a) Table 6A/6B/9A for GSTR 1 & 

b) Table 3.1(b) for GSTR 3B.

If you have included SEZ sales/ exports IGST in anyother table, the mismatch mail is sent. 

We need to correct such mismatch in next month GSTR 3B.

Dear Sir 

What I will Do if negative Ledger balance Related to July 2017-18. Whether Can I pay tax in November 2018 3 B 

Please clarify that will we have to pay the tax again made on that export, then claim refund in the next month? 

Is that what you mean?

I Don't think you need to pay again. Just Reduce normal sales in GSTR-3B Table 3.1.A and Increase the value in 3.1.B to show export or SEZ sales in Next Month. it will automatically nullify the impact.

Do you know of anyone who ahs done it and then not gotten that email again?

Yes Mine
You can check my previous reply 9 month ago where I got these massages from department and wanted to resolve the issue.

Thanks
