ITC claim in wrong head

ITC / Input 2150 views 11 replies
dear experts,
I have imported goods from China and paid IGST at the time of clearance of goods from customs.

while filling gstr-3b I have mistakenly claimed that IGST in all other ITC column instead of ITC on important of goods column.

now officer has issued me notice to pay that ITC because it is not showing in GSTR-2A.

please suggest what to do.

As a reply to the notice issued you can show the challan of IGST paid and all the documents related to that particular import.

Thus, you can prove that you by-mistake showed that IGST ITC under wrong head.  

I have written the letter but they are saying that I have to pay the GST (with 24% int.) claimed in wrong head and then take the set-off in correct head.
also they are saying that the as per law time period to take the credit is lapsed so now I can't take the credit.
i.e I have to pay the amount from my pocket
I think you have to explain the officer

he has to agree
will try again.

thanks
in this case there is no revenue loss. hence need not pay interest

dear sir, i have also done same mistake.i have to claim igst in gstr-3b but claimed cgst and sgst.have you any solution?

please advice

yes,
I have submitted all the igst paid challans along with letter and explained to officer.
he accepted the submission.

thanks

You explain to Officer that you have pay tax in Right head but shown  in wrong column because in GST Only Four Major Head

1- IGST

2-CGST

3 SGST/UTGST

4- CESS

So You explain properly then question of Interest arise

You should reduced CGST & SGST Amount in Next Month and Claimed IGST Amount in next month

no actually in gstr 3b there is separate column for ITC on import of goods or services.

so I have mistakenly claimed in All other ITC instead of ITC on import.

and now I came to know that 70-80 % taxpayers have made same mistake..

now they are accepting our letter with IGST paid challans
