How to declare negative purchase in ITR3

ITR 79 views 3 replies

I have a client, normal business one who had some stock from last year, did trading for 6 months and returned the stock to supplier and closed business.

 

Tehcnically, lets suppose

opening stock: 40 Lacs

Sales: 5 Lacs

Gross Profit: 1 Lacs

Closing Stock: 0

Purchase:  -36 Lacs

 

The purchase return was accepted by supplier and gave us credit note on GST2A for which we reversed all ITC and paid around 2-3 Lacs in cash.

 

Now, ITR form is not letting me put negative figure in purchases.  

How to fix this? 

One idea i was told was that i should keep closing stock and carry forward but business is closed and so is shop and there is no actual stock available so its not like the client is even doing business anymore.

As you have returned the stocks without any purchase in the year, so technically, it was returned from the opening stock. You may reduce the opening stock to 4 lakhs after return.

yes... the opening stock was returned but wouldn't this show up as a flag where closing stock does not match opening stock?

also, we have credit notes for the year which might cause problems? 

 

also, what if we prepare financials with negative purcahses but in ITR declare as you are saying?  leave a note in financials?

The recommendations are only for filing ITR as it doesn't accept negative figure. Check if filing complaint with ITD helps to resolve the issue.
