Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the accounting treatment when a GST refund application is only partially approved. If you applied for a £100 refund and received £80, the remaining £20 is considered excess. The suggested journal entry involves debiting your bank account for £80, writing off the £20, and crediting your Input Tax Credit (ITC) account by £100. An alternative approach suggests debiting 'GST refund receivable' and crediting ITC upon application, then debiting the bank for the received amount and the ITC ledger for the disallowed portion, finally crediting 'GST refund receivable'.

Here it is to write off the balance 20. Journel entry would be
Bank a/c Dr 80
Write off a/c 20
To ITC input a/c 100

can you pls elaborate the reason of such excess claim? whether it was denied by the deptt cz basis that recredit/reversal would happen? thank you

Alternatively,

At the time of application of refund,
GST refund receivable _Dr 100
To Itc 100

At the time of receipt of refund
Bank _Dr 80
ITC _Dr 20
To Gst refund receivable 100

Rs 20 being again available for utilization in credit ledger...The dept will recredit the amount in your electronic credit ledger, if it was applied from e credit ledger...
