please clarify what I should do
my transporter has issued invoices to me with charging 12% of GST and filed his return as exempted supply without paying tax. according to GST r2 a tax is nil but I have taken input as per invoice @ 12%
now there is mismatch of 2a and my books.
please clarify what to do in this case and how to recover GST paid on invoices
The below alternatives would work for period FY18-19
Alt 1 - Request Vendor to file correct invoice in upcoming gstr1 and reduce from exempted turnover in gstr1 or his annual return.
alt 2 - Request vendor to issue credit note for invoice with 12% and give a invoice mentioning 'Gst to pay under RCM'. For such invoice you pay and take credit. The same would be exempted for him.
