Understanding GSTR-2 Part 8

In our previous blog ‘How to File GSTR-2 PART-7’, we discussed about furnishing supplies received from composition taxable persons and other exempt/Nil rated/Non GST supplies received, during the GSTR-2 filing process. In this blog, we will discuss about:

• ITC received through ISD
• TDS and TCS credit received

 

GSTR-2 Filing: Details of Credit received from ISD

Based on the GSTR-6, the above details will be auto-populated in GSTR-2A but the options such as Accept, Modify, Reject and Pending as available in Table 3, will not be available for table 8 of GSTR-2.  On the basis of the credit distributed by ISD, made available in GSTR-2A, the recipient has to re-determine the eligibility as well as the amount of ITC eligible and accordingly the details needs to be captured manually in the GST portal.  We hope, once the GSTR-6 and ISD credit details in GSTR-2 are activated in GST portal, the options similar to table 3 of GSTR-2 will be made available.

Points to be noted to update ISD, TDS and TCS credit details during GSTR-2 filing:

• Currently, ISD, TDS and TCS is not activated in GST portal.
• The due date to file GSTR-6 by ISD for July, 2017 is extended till 13th October, 2017 and still the option to file GSTR-6 is not activated. It looks like table 8 -Details of Credit received from ISD could be activated in GSTR-2, once GSTR-6 filing facility is made available.
• TDS and TCS provisions are deferred currently. This means, TDS and TCS cannot be deducted/collected and accordingly, it is not applicable for July, 2017 returns.
