Clarifications on filing of Annual Return (FORM GSTR-9)

The last date for filing of Annual return in FORM GSTR-9 is 30th June 2019. The trade and industry have raised certain queries with respect to filing of this Annual return which are being clarified as fol lows:

a) Information contained in FORM GSTR-2A as on 01.05.2019 shall be auto-populated in Table 8A of FORM GSTR-9.

b) Input tax credit on inward supplies shall be declared from April 2018 to March 2019 in Table 8C of FORM GSTR-9.

c) Particulars of the transactions for FY 2017-18 declared in returns between April 2018 to March 2019 shall be declared in Pt. V of FORM GSTR-9. Such particulars may contain details of amendments furnished in Table 10 and Table 11 of FORM GSTR-1.

d) It may be noted that irrespective of when the supply was declared in FORM GSTR-1, the principle of declaring a supply in Pt. II or Pt. V is essentially driven by when was tax paid through FORM GSTR-3B in respect of such supplies. If the tax on such supply was paid through FORM GSTR-3B between July 2017 to March 2018 then such supply shall be declared in Pt. II and if the tax was paid through FORM GSTR­3B between April 2018 to March 2019 then such supply shall be declared in Pt. V of FORM GSTR-9.

e) Any additional outward supply which was not declared by the registered person in FORM GSTR-1 and FORM GSTR-3B shall be declared in Pt.II of the FORM GSTR-9. Such additional liability shall be computed in Pt.IV and the gap between the “tax payable” and “Paid through cash” column of FORM GSTR-9 shall be paid through FORM DRC-03.

f) Many taxpayers have reported a mismatch between auto-populated data and the actual entry in their books of accounts or returns. One common challenge reported by taxpayer is in Table 4 of FORM GSTR-9 where details may have been missed in FORM GSTR-1 but tax was already paid in FORM GSTR-3B and therefore taxpayers see a mismatch between auto-populated data and data in FORM GSTR-3B. It may be noted that auto-population is a functionality provided to taxpayers for facilitation purposes, taxpayers shall report the data as per their books of account or returns filed during the financial year.

g) Many taxpayers have represented that Table 8 has no row to fill in credit of IGST paid at the time of import of goods but wailed in the return of April 2018 to March 2019. Due to this, there are apprehensions that credit which was wailed between April 2018 to March 2019 but not reported in the annual return may lapse. For this particular entry, taxpayers are advised to fill in their entire credit wailed on import of goods from July 2017 to March 2019 in Table 6(E) of FORM GSTR-9 itself.

h) Payments made through FORM DRC-03 for any supplies relating to period between July 2017 to March 2018 will not be accounted for in FORM GSTR-9 but shall be reported during reconciliation in FORM GSTR-9C.

2. All the taxpayers are requested to file their Annual Return (FORM GSTR-9) at the earliest to avoid last minute rush.

    Dear Sir
    My client takes ITC under the head of Cess for Rs 31560 instead of IGST in FY 2018-19 and thereafter he also took ITC under IGST Head.
    Now difference comes in column 8(d) of GSTR9 of Rs 31560, total turnover for that year is about Rs 12,00,000.
    What can we do now for GSTR9?

    Dear sir,
    A registered person opted for quarterly filing return.He paid the tax amount in GSTR-3B but omitted to report the same GSTR-1 for F.Y.2017-18 and duly recognized in subsequent quarter GSTR-1 in F.Y.2018-19.
    Please guide me where to report the difference amount of GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for F.Y.2017-18 in GSTR-9 Annual return.(either to edit the auto populated amount in TABLE 4 as per GSTR-3B or to report the difference amount in in TABLE no.10,11???)

  8. Vinod Kumar Banka says:

    What will be the treatment in GSTR – 9, if we have correctly shown the amount of outward supply in GSTR – 1 but shown excess amount in GSTR – 3B for the FY 2017-18 and GST paid accordingly on the excess amount. In FY 2018-19, excess amount of outward supply and Tax adjusted in GSTR-3B of 2018-19.

    As table 4 of GSTR 9 is autopopulated through GSTR 1 which is showing correct amount. We have added the excess sales in Table 4 and adjusted through Table 11. Now what is the adjustment requirement in Table – 9 & 14?

  9. JAI BHAGWAN says:
