Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a situation where a GST summon was issued concerning ITC claimed on fake invoices. The taxpayer voluntarily reversed the ITC via DRC-03 before a show cause notice was issued, but did not pay the associated interest and penalty, citing an instruction. The department has now issued a notice demanding payment. The core question is whether penalty is applicable for voluntary ITC reversal without a show cause notice, and how different sections of the GST law (like 74(5), 74(8), 74(11), and 122) impact the penalty rates based on the timing of tax payment.

This issue is not covered under the instruction aa mentioned or Section 75(12). Interest and penalty imposable.

In my knowledge and experience, as per Section 74(5) any liability has been discharged before issuance of Notice, GST along with applicable interest and penalty 15% has to be payable. If tax paid after issuance of Notice penalty is 25% as per Sec 74(8) and taxes paid after passing order and with in 30 days penalty will be 50% as per Sec 74(11)

Else 100% penalty is applicable as per Section 122.

 

Thanks
