Furnishing details of outward supplies
Every registered taxable person will be required to furnish, electronically (in GSTR-1 format), the details of outward supplies of goods and/or services effected, during a tax period on or before the 10th day of the succeeding month. Thus, all the GST assessee throughout India will upload the details of outward supplies by 10th of subsequent month.
This is a sales register of goods and services; here we can enter the details data of sales. If a person sells his goods and services to a register person within the state in that case he is liable to charge CGST and SGST on the transaction. At the same point of time if the person sells his goods and services to other state he is liable for IGST charge on him.
Furnishing details of inward supplies
Every registered taxable person will be required to verify/modify, electronically (in GSTR-2 format), the details of inward supplies of goods and/or services, during a tax period on or before the 15th day of the month succeeding month. The details of inward supplies will be auto-populated based on GSTR-1 filed by the vendors. Effectively, all the GST assessee will have to reconcile the procurement details with vendors on monthly. This concept of credit availment appears to be heavily borrowed from Maharashtra VAT provisions (forms J1 and J2).
This is a comprehensive purchase register. Here we can enter the data of both purchase of service and goods.
In GSTR-2 the data of the goods purchase from register dealer including debit/credit note will automatically populated as the respective dealers upload there sales register on due date. Due to this we can match our purchases against the sales register and the impact of this in current scenario where tax credit mismatch is hard to match and a time taking process, in GST there we will check our data as per seller return so mismatch issue resolve will solve easily.
