Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the challenge of negative tax liability arising from significant sales returns during certain months, particularly for wholesale book suppliers. The core issue is how to reverse the GST liability on which tax has already been paid when credit notes are issued. The advice provided suggests showing a negative figure in the 3B to reduce subsequent months' tax liability, rather than reclaiming input tax credit that has already been utilised for payment.

reduce tax liability to the extent of sales return (credit note) in subsequent months 3B. Not to be reclaimed ITC already set off

There is no any tax liability in subsequent month till Dec or jan
