Video Explanation by CA Satbir Singh in Hindi
A Supply to Unregistered Person was made and Tax invoice was made in June but by mistake wrong purchaser name was written in tax invoice , now we want to cancel that tax invoice and generate new tax invoice in August with correct name of purchaser . We have already paid tax in June . What to do now ? How to show in GST Return (GSTR 1) ?
There is no provision in the GST Act for the above situation
There are two possibilities :-
- If the Goods are not returned by the recipient : Credit note can not be issued
- If the Goods are returned by the recipient (because Purchaser name is wrong) : then you can issue credit note for earlier invoice and issue fresh invoice and deliver the goods again. You can Amend GSTR-1 return
Be careful while issuing your Tax Invoice under GST.
