Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to correctly report Goods and Services Tax (GST) within Form ITR-5. It addresses specific questions regarding the Trading Account, particularly Item No. 10 concerning duties and taxes on purchases, advising to include GST paid where Input Tax Credit (ITC) is eligible. The guide also explains how to present the input GST balance in the Balance Sheet under current assets and discusses the treatment of GST amounts in the Profit & Loss account based on accounting methods.

1. (B) because eligible ITC is current asset for assessee.

2. under current assets as balances with revenue authorities.

3. I think it depends on accounting method following by you.

if you assume GST paid on purchases as expense and GST on sales as revenue then you can put.

if you assume GST paid as current asset and GST received as current liability then those will be gone to balance sheet.
