This ia a common complaint by several small SMEs / Service providers ; who are often at the mercy of such unscrupulous corporate customers. They regular credit term is not adhered to & unfortunately; since the suppliers dont have upper hand; they have to depend on whenever the customer makes payment. One of my business has several lakhs outstanding by a reputed bank and there is no dispute pertaining to the outstanding amt It just that they make delayed payments. I also know that the client will make payment; but it shall be delayed. by 2-3 months overdue. But the fact remains that i have to pay GST in the subsequent month of invoice ; but recover my money 4-5 months later. This blocks my cash flow & not to mention; accounting issues - which again is a major pain. I cant even stop my services; since its a reputed client and a strong brand name to have.
Like in TDS; i feel that the GST amt should be deducted at source - atleast for corporate customers.
