ITC in GSTR 9: treatment in all cases in one pdf
Know all the ITC tables in GSTR 9:
The annual return is a compilation of entire data of the base period. It covers two major parts: supply and ITC. In this article, we will cover all errors and mistakes done in monthly returns. Treatment of all of them will be discussed. Following three tables covers the ITC in GSTR 9.
- Table 6: break up of ITC availed. Its data will flow in table 8 and into 9C also.
- Table 7: Reversal done from availed ITC. Any reversal during the year will be a part of it.
- Table 8: It is a reconciliation of 2A auto populate data and availed data. This table is a failure in itself due to its defective drafting. It completely ignores table 7, reversal. Many taxpayers have this misconception that they need to pay tax for its mismatch. There is no such requirement.
- Table 12/13: Table 12 is for ITC reversed in next FY but it was pertaining to the base period. Table 13 is just the opposite of 12. It is for ITC availed for PY.
