When filing GSTR-1 quarterly after already uploading data via IFF (Invoice Furnishing Facility), here's how you should handle the invoices, credit notes, and amendments:
1. **Invoices Uploaded via IFF:** - Invoices that were already uploaded via IFF for January and February 2021 do not need to be uploaded again when filing GSTR-1 for the quarter. - The purpose of IFF is to provide a facility to upload invoices early for the immediate reporting period (month), especially for businesses that file GSTR-1 quarterly.
2. **Credit Notes:** - If credit notes were issued for transactions in January and February 2021, ensure that these credit notes are included in the GSTR-1 for the respective quarter. - You do not need to re-upload credit notes that were already uploaded via IFF unless there are additional credit notes or corrections needed.
3. **Amendments to B2B Invoices:** - Amendments to B2B (Business to Business) invoices, if any, should also be included in the GSTR-1 for the respective quarter. - If amendments were already made via IFF, ensure these amendments are reflected correctly in the quarterly GSTR-1.
4. **Consolidation in GSTR-1 Quarterly:** - When filing GSTR-1 quarterly, consolidate all the invoices, credit notes, and amendments made during the quarter (January to March 2021 in this case). - Ensure that the consolidated data in GSTR-1 reflects all transactions for the quarter, including those already reported via IFF.
5. **Verification and Validation:** - Before final submission of GSTR-1 for the quarter, verify that all transactions, including those from IFF, credit notes, and amendments, are accurately reflected. - Cross-check with your records to ensure completeness and correctness before submission.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage the filing of GSTR-1 quarterly while considering the transactions already reported via IFF for the respective months. This approach helps streamline compliance and ensures accurate reporting of GST transactions.
