GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 Reconciliation

Goods and Service Tax (GST) is a destination based levy and introduction of the same has subsumed various Central taxes and State taxes. The transaction of inter-state supplies of goods or services to the unregistered person needs to be reflected in both the returns FORM GSTR-3B and FORM GSTR-1. Currently, the trade practice that is being followed is that many registered person is not reflecting the transaction of inter-state supplies of goods or service to the unregistered person in FORM GSTR-3B, however, the same is being reflected in FORM GSTR-1. Due to such trade practice, there arises a mismatch in the quantum of goods or services or both that are actually being supplied in a State and the amount of integrated tax apportioned between the Centre and the State. In order to solve the above-mentioned issue, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs issued circular no. 89/08/2019-GST dated 18^th February 2019. In this article, we look at the procedure for GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 reconciliation as per the above notification.
