GST Input credit - Be ready for more Chaos.




In respect of GST return, following  being announced by FM on 24 March 2020.

1
Due Date for GSTR-3B for supplies made in the months of February, March and April: If a company’s turnover is less than ₹5 crore then on late payment of taxes
(Company A)
11th/ 22nd,24th of the following month
30th June 2020
-
Interest, Penalty and Late Fees as applicable
no interest, no late fees and no penalty
2
Due Date for GSTR-1/ GSTR-3B for supplies made in the months of February, March and April: If a company’s turnover is more than ₹5 crore then on late payment of taxes
(Company B)
11th/20th of the following month
30th June 2020
Compliance is done on or before 30th June 2020
No Interest if tax is paid by
04/04/20 (for Feb’20)
05/05/20 (for Mar’20)
04/06/20 (for Apr’20)


Following impact  can be noticed in case of Company B due to above-mentioned  changes.
(a)  Company B required to make GST payment on or before May 5, 2020 and June 4, 2020 for GST of month ending March and April.
 
(b)  Most of their  vendors i.e Company A  falls below turnover less than 5 Cr and hence looks like they will not file their  GSTR-1 before June 30, 2020.

(c)  If they don’t file GST -1 return  before our GST payment due date,  then  Company B  going to see massive mismatch  of Input  credit for the month ending March and April.  Mismatch means GST input as per books and GSTR-2A.

(d)  AT present, there is no relaxation of  from rule of 110% means input claimed cannot exceed 110% of input appearing in the GSTR-2A.

(e)  Hence,  Company B  can expect huge shortage in the GST input credit for next 2 months and due to 110% rule, they  have to pay  additional GST input credit.

Please provide your  suggestion or way out by which we can minimise the additional GST payment.
