Hi. We are a small service provider. My team had raised an invoice and paid GST for the same in March 2019 (somehow raised in advance). However, the payment got delayed. Can you please help how to cancel the old invoice and get submitted GST back.

We will be issuing a new invoice so that customer can take corresponding input credit on the same.

I am newbie here with basic accounting knowledge. So any help would greatly help as I am stuck.

Quick Summary

A small service provider mistakenly issued and paid GST on an invoice in March 2019 for services that were paid for later. They are seeking advice on how to cancel the old invoice and reclaim the GST paid, as they intend to issue a new invoice. While initial advice suggests amendments for FY 2018-19 are no longer possible after September of the following year, there's a suggestion to check the GSTR-1 return amendment table for FY 2018-19, as it might still be active.

Hi Pankaj - Thanks for your reply. Are you saying there is no way to cancel an old invoice and the whole GST amount cannot be redeemed anyhow?

Mr. Pankaj is right last date for ammendment is 30-09-19 for F.Y.18-19 but I think ammendment table still active for F.Y.18-19 in GSTR-1 Return
