Goods Return after one year

This discussion addresses the complexities of handling goods returned by a buyer more than one year after the original purchase. The core issue revolves around whether a supplier can issue a credit note with GST for such late returns and the subsequent implications for Input Tax Credit (ITC). Experts clarify that while a credit note can be issued without GST after the stipulated time limit, the original GST paid cannot be recovered. If the buyer insists on including GST, it's suggested to treat it as a new sale.
