Damage and expired.

hi, if the stock damaged and expired after the sale, on a credit note we will reduce tax liability or not.
for example, we had paid the tax liability on the sale and the buyer takes the input tax credit after that any expires and a sample of goods happens, the seller arises credit note with gst or without gst.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the GST implications for damaged and expired goods. Generally, a credit note with GST should be issued when goods are returned, allowing the buyer to adjust their input tax credit (ITC). If the goods are returned to the manufacturer, a credit note can be issued within the time limit specified in Section 34(2) of the CGST Act to adjust tax liability and reverse ITC. If the time limit has passed, a credit note can still be issued, but tax liability cannot be adjusted and ITC cannot be reversed. The specific treatment may also depend on the agreements between parties.

That will depend upon the agreement between the parties.

There is no agreement with the party.
My understanding of the facts:
you sold goods
buyer returned few damages goods


opinion:
on receiving returned goods the seller will issue credit note with gst. on the basis of the seller's credit note the buyer would reduce his itc.


please correct me if i have conceived the facts wrongly
Seller may returned to the manufacturer,who may issue credit note to the seller.itc mareduce, manufacturer may treat it as damaged,but,a refund of same may can claim,if any limitations exist in this regard?
The time Expired Goods are Drugs or Medicine & such practice of return of expired goods are done in pharmaceutical sector

Generally such goods return back to manufacture & the same are destroy by manufacturer.

As per Section 34(1) of CGST Act the supplier can issue the Credit Note where the goods are return back by Recepient. , Thus the Manufacturer supplied goods to Wholesalers/Retailer , issue Credit Note in relation to time Expired goods return by the Recepient (wholesaler/Retailer) . In such scenario the Recepient deliver the Expired goods to manufacture on Delivery Challan.
It may be noted if the credit note issued
within the *TIME LIMIT specified in section 34(2) CGST Act , the tax liability may be adjusted by Supplier (Manufacturers) & ITC need to be reversed by Recipient (Wholesaler/Retailer)

However if the time limit specified in said section is lapsed, a credit note may still be issued by supplier for such return of goods but the Tax liability cannot be adjusted & ITC cannot reversed . so there is no requirement to declare such credit note on Return (GSTR1 3B)

* Time limit : Adjustment of CNTs issued prior to the month of September following the end of FY

Note :
The alternative method to return the time Expired goods is by issuing fresh tax invoice for details kindly refer Circular 72/46/2018 GST , DT. 26/10/2018

hi,

What if the manufacturer/supplier does not accept expired/damage goods in such a scenario is the distributor liable to pay any gst?

It's based on the aggreement/contract...
May be the conditions apply as Mfg to Distributor and Distributor to Retail seller...

If there are any deals then it must be returned...
otherwise it can be simply leave...
