Purchases for the FY 2018-19 are not reflected in GSTR-2A. The Purchaser has not filed his GSTR-01 return and is also is not willing to pay the GST & is untraceable. Therefore, would I be liable to pay the GST along with Interest?
As per section 16 of CGST Act, 2017 , registered person can avail ITC of inputs only when the supplier has paid taxes to government and filed return as per section 39. If not, ITC can not be availed and if wrongly availed, add it to output tax liability along with applicable interest.
