Tax liability on unsold goods

Rules 256 views 4 replies

hi,

Is there tax liability on unsold goods? e.g. a distributor has expired or damaged goods which the supplier/mfr does not accept. these goods are unsaleable, however since the ITC is availed is there a tax liability on these goods? Will reversing ITC claimed absolve us of the tax liability? thanks in advance

In general view... Yes, Tax will reversible.

But, as you said both of different situations. So, it's not applicable to the same as both...
I do not find reason of reversing the tax liability.
In India, if goods become unsaleable due to reasons like expiration or damage, and you have already availed Input Tax Credit (ITC) on these goods, there may be a tax liability. Reversing ITC claimed can help mitigate the tax liability, as it essentially means you are adjusting the credit previously taken.
You hv to pass the debitbnote with necessary intimation to the supplier to lift the goods. if the supplier is not eager then you can easily arrange for the same and pass entries.
