What if outward supplies as per GSTR 1 is more than that reported In GSTR 3B?

Verify if outward liability reported as per GSTR 1 is accurate. If GSR 1 is accurate, then verify if additional liability has been reported in GSTR 3B in the next year.

If it is reported in next year, then show the same in Part V under Table 10 and liability payable and paid under Table 14. If not, then additional liability may be reported in GSTR 9 and the same may be paid through Form DRC -03.

What if outward supplies are per GSTR 1 and GSTR 3B is same, but mismatch with books of accounts?

GSTR 9 may be updated as per books of accounts and any additional reported as payable may be paid through Form DRC – 03. In case, the mismatch results in reduction of liability, the difference may be claimed as refund if the same hasn’t been utilized.

3.

In GSTR 1, certain invoices have been shown under B2C but later changed to B2B. However, GSTR 1 has not been updated for the same. How will this shown in GSTR 9?

In GSTR 9 filing , you may show the actual values as per books of accounts i.e. reduce B2C and increase B2B to the extent of changes made. This may not result in additional liability as it is just interchange of heads.

Input tax credit as per Table 8A of GSTR 9 and input tax credit as per GSTR 2A do not match. Why there is difference between the both?

Table 8A values have been updated on the basis of details available till March 2019. Thus, if any supplier has updated details in FY 18-19, the same may be added in Table 8A. However, GSTR 2A shows values only for the relevant period.

What if input tax credit has been claimed as per GSTR 3B but not updated by supplier in GSTR 2A?
