GSTR-1 amendments are filed in the NEXT GSTR-1 return using the amendment tables, you do not refile the original return.
Here is how to use each table:
- Table 9A: amendment of B2B invoices (change invoice amount, GSTIN of buyer, tax rate, etc.)
- Table 9B: amendment of credit notes and debit notes
- Table 9C: amendment of B2C large invoices and unregistered buyer invoices
Two limits to know:
1. You can only amend invoices from up to 2 previous tax periods. Example: in the September GSTR-1, you can amend July or August invoices but not May invoices.
2. Hard annual cutoff under Section 16(4): all amendments must be done before the earlier of (a) filing the September GSTR-1 of the next financial year, or (b) filing the annual return GSTR-9.
If the amendment increases the buyer's ITC, their GSTR-2B will automatically update when you file the amended GSTR-1. If it reduces ITC, the buyer needs to reverse accordingly.
