When selling an old car, such as an i10, under GST, the tax treatment depends on several factors. Here’s a breakdown of the GST rate, the tax deposit process, and how to reverse any excess tax deposit:
### **1. GST Rate on Sale of Old Car:**
- **Old Car Sale:** GST on the sale of an old car is typically applicable under the reverse charge mechanism (RCM) for the sale of used goods.
- **Rate:** As of the current GST rules, the rate for the sale of old cars is generally **12%** GST, with no additional cess. The tax is calculated on the **margin** (difference between selling price and purchase price), not on the full selling price.
### **2. Tax Deposit and Filing:**
- **Tax Rate:** You mentioned depositing **28% GST** and **1% cess**. This is incorrect for the sale of an old car. The rate should be 12% GST on the margin, without cess.
- **RCM Filing:** Since the transaction is under RCM, you should file the tax liability under RCM in **GSTR-3B**.
### **3. Reversing Excess Tax Deposit:**
To reverse the excess tax deposited, follow these steps:
1. **Check Your Tax Payment:**
- Ensure that the excess tax payment is correctly identified. Compare the tax rate and amount deposited with the actual GST liability.
2. **Amend Your GSTR-3B:**
- If you realize the error in a subsequent period, you can amend the GSTR-3B return where the excess tax was reported.
- Adjust the excess amount in the current GSTR-3B filing by reducing the tax amount to reflect the actual liability.
3. **Claim Refund or Adjust:**
- **Refund:** If the excess amount was deposited incorrectly, you can apply for a refund of the excess amount through the **GST Refund Application**.
- **Adjust:** If you are continuously liable for GST and have future GST liabilities, you can adjust the excess deposit against future GST liabilities.
4. **Consult GST Practitioner:**
- It is advisable to consult a GST practitioner or tax consultant to ensure compliance with the GST rules and proper filing.
### **Steps to Reverse Excess Tax Payment:**
1. **Access the GST Portal:** Login to the GST portal with your credentials.
2. **Navigate to Refund Section:** Go to the Refund section and select "Refund of Excess Payment of Tax."
3. **Fill Out the Refund Form:** Enter details of the excess payment and submit the form.
4. **Submit Supporting Documents:** Attach necessary documents, such as proof of excess payment and a copy of the GSTR-3B where the excess payment was reported.
5. **Track Refund Status:** Monitor the status of your refund application on the GST portal.
### **Important Notes:**
- **No Depreciation Adjustment:** As mentioned, no depreciation adjustment is relevant in this case since GST on the sale of used cars is calculated on the margin.
- **Correct Rate:** Ensure you apply the correct GST rate (12%) on the margin for used goods and not the standard rate of 28% with cess.
For precise handling of your case and compliance, it is recommended to consult a GST expert or tax consultant.
