How to file GSTR 9
It is clarified that ITC cannot be claimed in GSTR-9- Annual return. So any Liability identified later during the filing of GSTR 9 is to be deposited with the government in Form DRC-03. (It means it should be paid in cash rather than by claiming ITC to that extent).
Reconciliation of the books of accounts and tax invoices are issued during 01.04.2017 to 31.03.2018 is of utmost importance; this should match the turnover declared in the audited financial statements. It is important for the figures in the books & the invoices to match or else the GST paid will be incorrect. Along with the invoices, debit & credit notes shall also be in agreement with books of accounts.
The Tax Invoices issued during the period and the E Way Bill Data should be Matched.
Purchase Invoices should be agreed with Books and it must be ensured that the respective sales data of the respective suppliers is also uploaded in Form GSTR 1 so that such data will be appeared in GSTR 2A of the purchaser. Otherwise there will be Mismatch in the ITC claimed and ITC paid on purchases.
Stay away-Incorrect information can attract tax demands, interest and penalties on the same, and the long-term litigations that follow years later.
