This discussion revolves around the correct procedure for setting off Input Tax Credit (ITC) against tax liabilities, particularly concerning CGST, SGST, and IGST. Members are debating the application of the CGST (Amendment) Act, 2018, which outlines a specific priority for ITC utilisation. The core question is whether IGST should be set off first against IGST output, or if other rules apply when CGST and SGST liabilities are present.
Provided that the input tax credit on account of State tax shall be
utilised towards payment of integrated tax only where the balance of the
input tax credit on account of central tax is not available for payment of integrated tax
my understanding was to first set off igst liability from the above
NOW IGST 27000 IS DISCHARGED WITH CGST 26500 (COULDN'T TAKE NET AS IGST LIABILITY IS MORE) OUTPUT OF CGST IS TO BE PAYABLE SGST INPUT 500, AND SGST OUTPUT TO BE PAYABLE
