09 July 2024 Yes, you can rectify the taxable value figure in GSTR-9 if there were omissions or errors in your previously filed GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B. The annual return GSTR-9 allows you to make adjustments and report the correct figures.

### How to Rectify the Taxable Value in GSTR-9

1. **Identify the Correct Taxable Value**:
- Ensure you have the correct taxable value including the sales return effect which was omitted in GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B.

2. **Report in GSTR-9**:
- **Table 4**: Report the taxable value and tax paid during the financial year. Ensure the corrected figures are entered here.
- **Table 4A**: Details of supplies on which tax is payable (including outward supplies and adjustments).
- **Table 4B**: Details of supplies on which tax is not payable.
- **Table 9**: Report the differential tax paid, if any, due to the corrections in the taxable value.

### Steps to Follow:

1. **Navigate to GSTR-9 Form**:
- Log in to the GST portal and open the GSTR-9 form for the relevant financial year.

2. **Adjust Taxable Value**:
- In **Table 4** of GSTR-9, adjust the taxable value to reflect the correct amount, including the sales returns.

3. **Review and Reconcile**:
- Ensure the figures reconcile with your books of accounts and previously filed returns.

4. **Pay Any Differential Tax**:
- If the correction results in additional tax liability, pay the differential tax through DRC-03 before filing GSTR-9.

5. **Submit GSTR-9**:
- After making the necessary corrections, submit the GSTR-9 form.

### Example:

If your initial taxable value in GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B was Rs. 1,00,000, and due to sales returns the adjusted taxable value should be Rs. 90,000, you need to:

- Report Rs. 90,000 as the taxable value in Table 4A of GSTR-9.
- Ensure the tax amounts reported match the tax actually paid.

### Important Points:

- **Ensure Accuracy**: Verify all figures before submitting to avoid discrepancies.
- **Additional Tax Payment**: If corrections lead to additional tax liability, ensure it's paid using DRC-03.
- **Reconciliation**: Reconcile GSTR-9 with your books of accounts, GSTR-1, and GSTR-3B.
