Hi Everyone,
we are in the business of construction.
we have raised some invoices in 2018-19 for which we have paid the respective gst for the same and sent those invoices to clients..
but now clients are claiming that we had not received the invoices and didn't took gst input and asking us to raise the same invoices this year so that they will pay the invoice amount and claim the input..
we are unable to ask them strictly because of risk of losing the client..
kindly suggest what can we do..
can we raise the credit notes for the invoices raised in 2018-19 now and show them in annual return???.
or there is any other alternative..
please help me.
thanks in advance......

Quick Summary

A construction business is facing a dilemma where clients are requesting re-issued invoices from the 2018-19 financial year. The clients claim they never received the original invoices and thus couldn't claim GST input. The business is concerned about losing clients if they refuse but is unsure about the legality and feasibility of re-issuing past invoices, especially regarding GST implications and annual returns. They are seeking advice on how to handle this situation without incurring double GST payments or violating regulations.
