Starting in July 2022, taxpayers have reported specific modifications when filing the GSTR-3B return. These modifications have brought about a fresh approach to presenting data in Tables 3 and 4 of the form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first time, this revision came to public discussion <\/a>via Notification No. 14\/2022 \u2013 Central Tax. Later on, by September, the GSTN published the new format for conveying data in Table 4 of GSTR-3B<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new format has accommodated a more detailed split of Input Tax Credits (ITCs), explaining which are reversed, restricted, reclaimed, eligible and so on. In this blog, you will get the ultimate checklist of the new modifications made in Table 4 and consequently, how taxpayers need to make adjustments moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The updated format for Table 4 of Form GSTR-3B Return was implemented for the first time in August 2022. To comply with GSTR-3B, one must provide a comprehensive breakdown of ITC details in Table 4 for a specific return period. These details include ITC imposed on capital goods<\/a>, goods and services import, inward supplies that are subjected to reverse charge, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Information like ITC reversals and ineligible ITC are also declared in Table 4. It is necessary to correctly summarize the ITC as it determines the GST liability towards the government. Incorrect reporting can lead to notice issuance or even penalties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is the format of Form GSTR-3B:<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, when you are about to file the return, you will be prompted to enter your GST number. Next, you will notice your name getting auto-populated in the consequent field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After a couple of initial entries, you will find Section 3.1, outlining specifications of outward and inward supplies liable to reverse charge. These details have been listed as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you come down to 3.1.1, it enlists supplies published under Sub-section 9(5) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. In addition, it mentions the corresponding provisions of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax\/Union Territory Goods and Services Tax\/State Goods and Services Tax Acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Under 3.1.1, you will find the following supplies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the nature of supplies mentioned in 3.2:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This section is further divided into 4(A), 4(B), 4(C) and 4(D). Here\u2019s the complete breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Under 4(A), there are 5 components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n iii) Inward supplies that are liable to Reverse Charge<\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) <\/strong>– The first row mentions – As per rules 38 42 & 43 of CGST Rules and section 17 (5):<\/p>\n\n\n\n These rules call for the reversion of input credit, some of which were used for business and the rest for other purposes. As a matter of fact, input credit reversal also becomes crucial where supplies are nil-rated or exempt from tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2)<\/strong> – Others = these are the supplies that have been reversed in your books<\/p>\n\n\n\n This section calculates the Net of Available \u2013 Reversed ITC<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, you have to address two parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Section 5 involves all the values of exempt, nil-rated and non-GST inward supplies<\/a>. It covers supplies via a dealer who is under the composition scheme, including inter-state and intra-state supply of goods. Additionally, you find non-GST supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is the final segment that clarifies the amount of tax payable to the government. The final sum is separately mentioned under IGST, CGST, SGST and UTGST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A taxpayer needs to file the credit availed against the aforementioned sections. To find the amount, one must refer to 4(C). If there is a late fee deposited with the tax sum that needs to be reported explicitly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GSTR-3B is a monthly self-declared summary GST return that is due on the 20th of the following month. For instance, if we are considering the due date of GSTR 3B for May 2024, then it would be due before 20th June 2024. It is crucial to note down the return filing due dates to avoid penalties on GST returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the old format of Table 4 of GSTR-3B<\/strong>, taxpayers were required to report all available Input Tax Credits (ITCs) in Table 4(A). Previously, this table became auto-populated through the GSTR-2B. Moreover, it excluded the ineligible ITC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, the taxpayers reported all Input Credit Tax that got reversed according to Rules 42 and 43 of the CGST Rules in Table 4(B).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eventually, you had to report ineligible ITC such as goods\/services used for personal purposes, motor vehicles<\/a>, specific insurance premiums, etc., in Table 4(D).<\/p>\n\n\n\nContents of Table 4 of GSTR-3B and Applicability <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
