Hi,
Return filing period must be the period in which amendment is made. For example if amendment is made August and return filing period will be
- August if he is required to file monthly returns
- September if he is required to file quarterly returns i.e. July- September
Amendment can be made in the later tax period also but the date of revised amended invoice date must be the last date of the original invoice tax period. For example if an original invoice dated 12/07/2017 is being amended in August then the amended invoice date cannot be later than 31/07/2017.
Which details cannot be amended?
- Customer GSTIN
- Change a tax invoice into bill of supply
- Export Invoices
- Shipping Bill Date/Bill of Export Date cannot be amended.
- Type of Export- With/Without payment cannot be amended
- Credit Debit Notes
- Receiver/Customer GSTIN cannot be changed. However you may amend & link any other invoice for the same GSTIN.
- Details like the place of Supply/the Customer GSTIN/Reverse charge applicable etc is based on the Invoice which it is linked to. Hence these details must match with the detail of the linked Invoice.
- If the receiver of goods have already taken action on the invoices i.e. accepted or modified, the taxpayer cannot amend those invoices. These invoices will not be available for amendment
