In last GSt council meeting, it was decided that businesses whose turnover is upto 1.5 crores need to file quarterly return and pay taxes also n quarterly basis and this things wud start from oct-dec quarter.
What is the exact status???
Whether it is quarterly payment or monthly payment for businesses having turnover upto 1.5 crores.
As said,by,my friend,R M SHAH,good number of Tax Payers,have committed,mistake,while putting amount.Small amount,may be got overruled.In case,big mistake,like,instead of putting,30,000.00,figure of 3,00,000,is put,how,can small,Tax Payer,may tolerate. Therefore for,technical mistakes committed,rectification,provision,needs to implemented.
There are no option of revising GSTR3B but if you have submitted with wrong tax liability than pay the same liability in that month. only option is to show that excess amount as input tax credit in next month.
at the time of departmental inquiry or audit you can explain the same and at the annual return it will get correct automatically
Krishna has said it very well about GSTR 3B to Arjuna.
yes , option to revise or edit of submitted 3 b must be provided, due to clerical mistake we put the tax in wrong column and the assessee is not able to pay the wrongly filed tax and we are unable to file the return for that month and for further period.
GST 3B is submitted ( NOT FILED). Error in putting tax amount. Instead of 30000, wrote as 310000. I m not able to edit since return is SUBMITTED. Dealer can’t pay tax also. HOW DO I RECTIFY ? July GST 3 B was open for rectification. SIMILARLY IT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TILL MARCH 18, since this is new law.
WE MUST REPRESENT THROUGH RECOGNIZED BODY.
