02 August 2024 Here’s how to handle the accounting and ITC claim for purchases under GST:

### 1. **Entering Purchases in Books:**

- **Invoice Date vs. Receipt Date:**
- Generally, purchases should be recorded in your books of accounts based on the **Invoice Date**, not the goods receipt date. This is because the invoice date is crucial for determining the correct period for accounting and tax reporting.

### 2. **Claiming ITC:**

- **Claim ITC on Invoice Date:**
- You can claim ITC based on the **Invoice Date** if you have received the goods and the invoice is in your possession. The ITC is typically eligible from the date of invoice or from the date when goods are received, whichever is later.

- **If Claiming ITC on Invoice Date:**
- You should ensure that the invoice is reflected in your GST returns and you have received the goods. ITC can be claimed in the GST return of the month in which the invoice is dated, provided you meet the following conditions:
- The goods or services are received.
- The invoice is entered in your records.
- The supplier has uploaded the invoice in the GST portal.

### 3. **Impact of Book Entry Date on ITC Claim:**

- **If Booked on Invoice Date and Claimed ITC:**
- If you record the purchase on the invoice date and claim ITC accordingly, ensure that:
- The invoice is valid and complete.
- The goods have been received.
- You have complied with the GST rules for claiming ITC.

- **If the ITC Claim is Not Eligible:**
- **ITC Reversal:** If for some reason the ITC claimed on the invoice date does not meet the requirements (e.g., the goods were not received, or the invoice is not valid), you may be required to reverse the ITC and pay interest or penalties as applicable.

### Summary:

1. **Enter Purchases in Books:** Generally, based on the invoice date.
2. **Claim ITC:** On the invoice date, provided the goods are received and the invoice is valid.
3. **Discrepancies:** If there are discrepancies (e.g., claiming ITC without receiving goods), you may need to reverse the ITC and potentially face penalties.

Ensure all conditions under the GST law are met to avoid issues. For specific guidance, especially if there are exceptional circumstances or complexities, consulting a tax advisor or GST consultant can be beneficial.
