09 July 2024 Reversal of Input Tax Credit (ITC) for a service provider when filing GSTR-10 (Final Return) involves a few key steps. GSTR-10 is a final return that needs to be filed by a taxpayer whose GST registration is canceled or surrendered. Here’s how you can furnish the reversal of ITC in GSTR-10:

### Steps to Furnish Reversal of ITC in GSTR-10:

1. **Login to GST Portal**:

- Select "Returns" and then "Final Return (GSTR-10)".

3. **Fill in Basic Details**:
- Fill in the relevant details in the initial sections, such as GSTIN, Legal Name, and Trade Name of the business.

4. **ITC Reversal Details**:
- In the GSTR-10 form, go to the table meant for the reversal of ITC. This is typically Table 8 - "Details of ITC Reversal / Payment of Tax".

5. **Provide Details of ITC Reversal**:

- **ITC Availed**: Enter the total amount of ITC availed that needs to be reversed.
- **Tax Paid**: Enter the tax amount paid for the ITC reversal.
- The breakdown will be required for different types of taxes (CGST, SGST, IGST, and Cess).

### Example of ITC Reversal Entry:

Assume you have to reverse an ITC of ₹10,000 (CGST ₹5,000 and SGST ₹5,000).

**Table 8 - ITC Reversal / Payment of Tax**:

- **Tax Amount (₹)**:
- **CGST**: 5000

6. **Payment of Tax**:

- Click on "Preview" to verify the details before submission.

- After submission, click on "File GSTR-10" using DSC (Digital Signature Certificate) or EVC (Electronic Verification Code).

8. **Acknowledgment**:
- Once the form is successfully filed, an acknowledgment reference number (ARN) will be generated. Save this for future reference.

### Important Considerations:

- **Accurate ITC Calculation**: Ensure that the ITC to be reversed is accurately calculated and matches with your books of accounts.

- **Documentation**: Keep all supporting documents and calculations for the reversal of ITC for audit and future reference.

- **Timely Filing**: File GSTR-10 within three months of the date of cancellation or the date of cancellation order, whichever is later.

By following these steps, you can correctly furnish the reversal of ITC for a service provider in GSTR-10. If you need further assistance, consulting a GST practitioner or a tax advisor is advisable to ensure compliance with all GST regulations.
