POST SALE DISCOUNT

A. Post Sale Discount provided ( as per policy- known at the time of original supply) by the supplier can be of 2 types: 

1. Where only the discount is given- gst on that is not considered.- No action enjoy the credit and pay the supplier less to the extent of discount.

2. Where discount with GST is provided in credit note- you would have availed the credit. You need to reverse the credit to the extent of GST on the discount in GSTR 3B when calculating the ITC on basis of credit note date. The supplier will raise credit note with reference to original invoice and upload in gstr1- the recipient will accept. Loop is closed.

B. Discount not as per policy. Then only option 1 above will be available- no impact on GST - cannot be claimed back.
