The potential benefits of the Invoice Furniture Facility are as follows:
This is an excellent strategy to help both small taxpayers and small taxpayers’ buyers. This facility will indirectly support small taxpayers to improve their businesses by providing faster ITC makes a claim to their buyers. Even so, this will raise the cost of compliance for them.
It is, therefore, necessary to make a comparison between the benefits of opting for IFF and the costs involved. It is decent to opt-in for this facility if a small taxpayer raises large amounts of B2B invoices in one quarter compared to B2C invoices.
All taxpayers with Annual Total Sale up to INR 5 Crore have been given an option to file their Form GSTR-1 Statement & Form GSTR-3B return on a QTRLY basis. They also have an option to file B2B invoice details in Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) for months 1 & 2 (eg. Jan and Feb) of the quarter in order to pass on the credit, whereas the remaining invoices have to be declared in the QTRLY Form GSTR-1 of Month 3 (e.g. March). {With effect from 1st January 2021}
Our Recommendations: As we already know the limit of availing of the Input tax credit in respect of missed invoices have been reduced from 10% to 5% effective 01.01.2021. Thus, it is imperative for the large companies that have significant vendors under QRMP schemes that they should mandate their vendors to use the Invoice Furnishing Facility scheme. Basis the Invoice Furnishing Facility scheme, the inward supplies up to INR 1 Cr will be reflected in GSTR-2A before filing of GSTR-1 by the vendor. Thus, there will not be any unnecessary blockage of Input Tax Credit and it will also not put too much stress on the working capital of the large corporates.
