GST payment set off

163 views 3 replies

My CGST payable 2560.00 and SGST payable 2560.00. I have IGST input 4095.00 and CGST input earlier 4084.00. when I went to payment set off total payable automatically shown only SGST Rs. 1025.00. My question is if I settled manually  Total SGST with IGST input  and balance IGST (4095-2560) = 1535 with CGST then my payable will be Nil. But system did not admitted to do that. Why?

   IGST   CGST   SGST       
Tax Payable      2,560.00    2,560.00      
ITC balance    4,095.00    4,084.00        
             
CGST paid from IGST ITC    2,560.00          
SGST paid from IGST ITC    1,535.00          
Balance ITC                 -      4,084.00        
Balance Payable                 -                   -      1,025.00      
             
First Set off IGST liability with IGST ITC                
Then use balance IGST ITC to set off CGST/SGST      
Basically, you first have to exhaust IGST ITC        
Only restriction is that CGST ITC cannot be used to set off SGST liability or vice-versa

Ok, but is it possible for 2nd option?

Remaining amount of IGST credit may be utilized for payment of CGST or SGST in any order.

Though I haven’t faced this manual set-off yet practically. But I think as per law, this process of set-off holds good.
