Is it correct that late payment of gst under reverse charge is not available as credit??
I have tax liability of 1000 in CGST and 500 in SGST and i am 1 month delayed in filling return then my interest will be rs. 15 in cgst and 7.5 in sgst, but portal accept only same amount means either 15 or 7.5. Is it correct or any technical problem in 3b portal. Please reply
Yes, tax authority is demanding to pay on 1000 so plx tell me under which rules it is to be calculate and pay
we have claimed GST INPUT in March, 2018 whereas the vendor has deposited GST in August, 2018 which was paid by us in Feb.2018. Pls clarify whether we should pay delayed interest or the vendor has to pay as per GST rules.
If u fails to file return , u r not eligible for itc as per act. So in interest will be on rs.1000
Dear Sir,
Say example, my tax tax on my outward supplies Rs. 1000 and tax paid on Inward supplies Rs. 300 of the same month, so net GST liability has to pay Rs. 700.
But if I am late in filing GSTR 3B, so Interest will be calculated for delayed period on which amount Rs. 1000 OR Rs. 700?
GST CPC help desk is advising to calculate on Rs. 1000. I am not convinced with logic.
Plz clarify.
Thank you in advance.
