GST SCRUTINY

09 March 2023

During scrutiny, GST Officials ask to produce Undertaking from Service Providers [ in absence of 2017 bills etc] that they paid tax and invoice was wrongly reported under B2C category / incorrectly reported in GSTR 1 of respective month instead of B2B category. Does this make sense? If undertaking goes wrong, who will be held responsible? Is there any other alternative? Kindly advise.

Yes, the GST officer is correct. The CBIC has notified this procedure which needs to be carried out in case the input of up to Rs. 2.5 lacs related to F.Y. 17-18 is not showing in GSTR- 2A of the taxpayer .

In case of any further queries, kindly mail me at casoravgupta @ gmail.com

It's 5 lacs, not 2.5 lacs. For less than 5 lacs, declaration from the supplier is required whereas for 5 lacs and above, a certificate from a CA is to be produced.

Many thanks.

Would you please share circular regarding requirement of CA or statutory auditor certificate.

Service provider is still clueless. They feel based on Proforma Invoice, service receiver paid the amount and new series Invoice ref for same amount was uploaded on portal. Thus there is a mismatch. How to fix it as all employees are new and hearing is fixed on 13 Mar.
