Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the applicability of Ind AS 12 to Goods and Services Tax (GST) accounting. While Ind AS 12 focuses on accounting for income tax using a balance sheet approach, it does not directly cover GST. GST is considered autonomous, and current taxes are not within the scope of Ind AS 12. However, GST transactions should be presented under Ind AS 1, and any timing differences between GST liabilities and accounting revenue require appropriate disclosure in GSTR-9C.
Ind AS 12 is based on the Balance Sheet approach. It requires recognising tax consequences of the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax base.
There will be timing difference in recording of liability under the GST and recording of revenue under IND AS. These transactions shall stand as unreconciled and has to be appropriately disclosed under FORM GSTR-9C.
As I have already said IndAs 12 is not applicable for GST as there is difference in recognition of financial transactions between GST and accounting matters
