In this Article we will discuss how to reverse ITC in Annual Return for the financial year 2017-18 and also for FY 2018-19.

Taxpayers has not reversed ITC on many occasions like

  1. Excess claim of ITC,
  2. Reversal of common ITC in Rule 42/43,
  3. Reversal of ITC due to non-payment within 180 days etc.
  4. Reversal of ITC taken in TRAN-1/2 inappropriately and many others

In numerous cases, ITC has not been reversed by taxpayers through GSTR-3B or DRC-03 before 31-03-2019 in case of FY 2017-18 and before 20-10-2019 in case of FY 2018-19.

Now taxpayer wants to reverse this ITC in Annual Return to make good his wrong ITC claim. Question arise how to reverse the ITC in Annual Return ? Whether it should be shown in Table 7 of GSTR-9 which deals with reversal of ITC or Table 13 of GSTR-9 ?

GOODS AND SERVICE TAX GST

It is pertinent to note that Table 7 can be used for showing reversal of ITC which has been reversed within FY 2017-18 itself through GSTR-3B or DRC-03.  Now what to do ?  Further to it mare showing the ITC reversal in Table 7 would not be suffice as amount of ITC should be debited from Input Credit Ledger maintained at GST portal or should be paid through cash ledger as in the case of output tax liability. When taxpayer show the amount of reversal in Table 7 without actually reversing the same, it would be considered as wrong declaration in GSTR-9 (Annual Return). Therefore care must be taken before showing any such reversal in GSTR-9. One can follow below mentioned steps for proper declaration of ITC reversal in his annual return.

i) Taxpayer must prepare a working preferably in tabular format for reversal of ITC containing therein all details apparently clear. This detail should separately show reversal of ITC with respect to IGST, CGST and SGST/UTGST.

ii) Now taxpayer should prepare DRC-03 online by logging in to GST portal and pay the liability of ITC reversal with interest upto date @ 24% per annum. The nature of payment in DRC-03 should be selected as “Voluntarily – 73(5)”. Do not forget to mention clearly in DRC-03 that liability has been paid for ITC reversal for a particular financial year. The details made in tabular sheet should be attached with DRC-03. The DRC-03 should be filed with digital signature or EVC.

iii) Now amount of reversal of ITC through DRC-03 should be reflected at Table 13 of GSTR-9 (Annual Return).

In this way the ITC for FY 2017-18 can be reversed in Annual Return. Hope this article will help the taxpayers in filing their annual return in perspective of ITC reversal.

    3. One of my supplier has shown my invoice in IGST instead of CGST & SGST. Hence 2A shows credit amount in IGST & Liability in CGST & SGST. Supplier says he will reconcile this in his GSTR9 .How to show this in My GSTR 9.
    4. If there is difference in my 2A & 3B amount. How to match & where to show in GSTR 9.
    5. If my supplier forgot to show invoice in GSTR 1 & 3B. I have already claim ITC. He is ready to refund tax amount by cash. How to reverse this ITC in GSTR 9.

  22. Dimple says:

    Dear Sir,

    I have claimed excess ITC in GSTR – 3B for the financial year 2018-19 which was not reversed. The reason for claiming the excess GST was:
    1) The supplier had provided a GST invoice stating GST as INR 200 but as per GSTR 2A, the GST was only INR 50
    2) Error on my part as I claimed the same amount twice

    Should I pay GST through DRC-03 now for both 1 and 2? If yes, how should such payment be reflected in GSTR-9?

  23. GAURANG says:

    I HAVE CLAIMED EXCESS ITC IN 21017-18, THAT WAS DULY REVERSED IN 18-19 AND THE REVERSAL AMOUNT WAS MENTIONED IN TABLE 12 OF GSTR-9 ANNUAL RETURN 17-18. HOW TO SHOW TREATMENT IN 18-19 ANNUAL RETURN? PLEASE CLARIFY

    Sir,
    I mistakenly[Typing Error] claim ITC in GSTR-3B of Rs.16,46,137 in the Month of April 2019 instead of 16,461.37. I rectify the same in the next month May 2019 return by reversal of ITC as others after deducting the correct ITC of April and May 2019.
    now how will it impact in annual return. and What i need to do for the same?

  25. VENKAT says:

    Sir,
    I mistakenly claimed ITC in GSTR-3B as 16,46,137 instead of 16,461.37 in the month of April 2019. In May 2019, I immediately reversed the same in GSTR-3B after deducting the Correct ITC for the Month of April and May in other Reversals.
    what impacts will it create in GSTR 9 for the year 2019-20?

  26. Maulik says:

    Dear sir
    I did a reversal of ITC for 2018-19 in July 2019 but system deducted the amount of SGST and CGST from IGST. To rectify this, I added the amount deducted in IGST in 3B of September. Now what corrective action to be taken?

  27. MUTHU U N says:

    IF I CLAIMED EXCESS ITC IN SEPTEMBER 2018 AND THE SAME WAS NOT REVERSED IN 18-19,19-20. AT THE TIME OF FILING GSTR 9 & 9C OF 18-19 IN OCTOBER 2020 ONLY, THE EXCESS CLAIMED ITC COMES IN TO NOTICE.
    NOW WHETHER THAT ITC CAN BE

    REVERSED IN SEPTEMBER 2020 GSTR 3B AND PAY INTEREST ALONE THROUGH DRC 03
    OR
    ENTIRE EXCESS CLAIMED ITC WITH INTEREST TO BE PAID THROUGH DRC03

    KINDLY PROVIDE A SUGGESTION.

    CGST SGST
    142000 142000
    However, while compiling our books of accounts of F.Y 2019-20 we came to know that the party on whose bill we claimed CGST and SGST of Rs 142000 each has only filed GSTR 1 and Not Filed its GSTR 3B. The firm has closed its registration.
    Now, we have to reverse the ITC that we already claimed in July 2019 as we can make changes for F.Y 2019-20 till September 2020 only.
    Can you kindly guide as to how shall we reverse the ITC of 2019-20 in GSTR 3B of September 2020? As well as its treatment in books of accounts?

    Example : Input as per books :

    As per books As per GSTr-3b
    Cgst : 900 1000
    sgst : 900 1000

    so I have claimed excess of Rs.100 in gstr-3b in the financial year 2018-19 which was not reversed in the financial year 2018-19 & subsequent years.

    Query :1

    In table no 6a of gstr-3b input will be 1000/- ( data from gstr-3b).

    while segregating the input i,e input on purchases ,services, capital goods and rcm will i need to give break up for 1000/- or 900/-. when i read the technical guidance note issued by icai they mention that difference in table 6j ideally will be zero.

    Please clarify on this also how to rectify this excess input?
