Sales in books but missing from GSTR-1
Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
Every taxable sale must be reported in GSTR-1 under Sec 37. A sale missed in GSTR-1 also means tax was not paid in GSTR-3B. Add it through GSTR-1A before GSTR-3B, or in the next GSTR-1 with interest on the delayed tax.
Provisions and law
- Sec 37, CGST Act 2017Details of outward supplies to be furnished in GSTR-1
- Sec 50(1), CGST Act 2017Interest at 18 percent a year on tax paid late, on the part paid in cash
- Sec 39(9), CGST Act 2017Errors in a return are corrected in a later return, within the time limit
Analysis
If a ₹2,50,000 invoice was left out of September's GSTR-1, add it through GSTR-1A before filing September's GSTR-3B and there is no interest. If GSTR-3B is already filed, report it in October and pay interest for the month. Missing B2B invoices also deny your buyer credit, so tell him.
Conclusion
- Export the sales register and GSTR-1 invoice list
- Match invoice numbers and amounts
- Add missing invoices through GSTR-1A or the next GSTR-1
- Pay interest on any delayed tax
- Find the cause, such as a second billing series
