GST RCM error in 3B Return

924 views 3 replies

Respected members

I need help in resolving an error made by accountant in GSTR 3B filing

Facts

  1. Supplier is a sole trader rendering banking service and is subject to Reverse Charge
  2. GSTR 1 correctly filed by ticking field "Supply attract reverse charge"
  3. GSTR 3B error was made by manually punching Integrated tax amount in table 3.1(a)
  4. on account of which they ended up paying tax 

Need help in resolving the above issue without affecting already issued invoices ( as issuing credit note will nullify earlier invoice issues and might create issue with service receiver)

Regards

Jayaram Prasad

To resolve the issue: 1. File GSTR-3B (Amendment) to correct the mistake: - Re-file GSTR-3B for the relevant month, ensuring to untick the "Supply attract reverse charge" field in GSTR-1. - In table 3.1(a), remove the manually punched Integrated tax amount. 2. Claim refund of excess tax paid: - File Form GST RFD-01A to claim a refund of the excess tax paid. - Ensure to mention the correct GSTR-3B details and the amount of excess tax paid. 3. Issue a Declaration: - Issue a declaration stating that the excess tax paid was due to an error and that the supplier is eligible for a refund. 4. Maintain records: - Keep records of the corrected GSTR-3B, refund application, and declaration. This should resolve the issue without affecting already issued invoices.

Thank you sir

But the problem is this happened in July 24 and August 24 and there is no scope for amending GSTR 3B. 

 

RCM entries in GSTR-3B work differently from regular ITC. You report the reverse charge liability in Table 3.1(d), pay it in cash, and then claim the same amount back as ITC in Table 4(3) in the same return. The error usually comes up when the ITC claim in Table 4 is entered manually but conflicts with the auto-populated zero in 4A(3), because the system expects both to reconcile. Check whether the amount in Table 4(3) matches exactly what you entered in Table 3.1(d), and that the supplier genuinely falls under a notified RCM category.
Our [reverse charge mechanism guide](https://taxgarden.in/blog/reverse-charge-mechanism-rcm-gst-india-guide) covers each entry in GSTR-3B for the most common RCM scenarios including unregistered suppliers and notified services.
