Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a business facing financial difficulties can offset an unpaid GST liability from January against available Input Tax Credit (ITC) in February. While directly offsetting is not permitted as February's ITC cannot be claimed for January, the conversation touches upon potential workarounds like retrospective reporting of sales, though the consensus leans towards facing the original liability.

February GST credit will not come in January.
no chance to set off.try
Of course it do s not. But can the party claim to have forgotten reporting if few sales bills of January and consider thise bills in February there by utilising all available credit and paying balance amount which works out to be 50% less than that if January. Many tax payers are facing financial issues and also their working capital gets affected due to heavy liability in one month but excess credit in subsequent month.
What to do
he has to face the music.
