Many taxpayers make the error of filing their GST liability or input tax credit under the wrong GST heading.<\/li>\n<li>Even GST tax is sometimes paid under the incorrect heading at the time of payment, or interest is paid under the erroneous tax heading, and so on. When paying taxes, one must be cautious because the GSTN currently prohibits the interchangeability of taxes.<\/li>\n<li>Due to unforeseeable cash flows, this could lead in an unfavourable working capital position.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrongfully_claiming_an_input_tax_credit\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Wrongfully claiming an input tax credit<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>GSTR-2A is an auto-generated return in which the supplier declares a taxpayer&#8217;s registered purchases and accompanying input tax credit. When submitting returns, a taxpayer, on the other hand, must disclose their input tax credit individually. They should also submit and claim the correct amount of input tax credit. If a higher value is declared, there is no opportunity to alter the return, thus the difference must be paid in the following month&#8217;s return, along with interest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delay_in_Submitting_of_GST_return\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Delay in Submitting of GST return<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>It&#8217;s important to keep in mind to file GST returns on time.

Penalties may be imposed as a result of non-filing or late filing of taxes.<\/li>\n<li>Even if a taxpayer has no transactions to report for a given time, they should file a NIL return. This would also allow for further submission of taxes, as the GSTN prohibits submitting returns if any preceding period&#8217;s returns have not been filed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24634\" src=\"https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/gs-misake...jpg\" alt=\"common mistakes goods and services compliance\" width=\"868\" height=\"863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/gs-misake...jpg 868w, https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/gs-misake..-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/gs-misake..-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/gs-misake..-768x764.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/gs-misake..-800x795.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 868px) 100vw, 868px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Place_and_type_of_supply\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Place and type of supply<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>B2Cs, nil-rated, exempted, and non-GST supplies must all be aggregated by taxpayers.

A person may face challenges and penalties if they charge a higher rate. Charging a lower GST rate may result in a cash flow from the pocket during the assessment process.

Due to the large amount of data to be provided, taxpayers occasionally make mistakes when inputting it, resulting in a mismatch between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B. A taxpayer must exercise caution because there is no way to modify a return once it has been filed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_making_payment_of_Reverse_Charge_mechanism_RCM\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Not making payment of Reverse Charge mechanism (RCM)<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The government has established a list of items and services for which recipients must pay RCM. If reverse charge tax is not paid, it may result in additional interest payments and the loss of input tax credit. It should also be noted that ITC cannot be used to pay for reverse charge tax.<\/li>\n<li>We can say that, GST under the Reverse Charge mechanism has to be paid via challan only. After payment of RCM Challan, GST registered person can claim ITC of the same which can be claim with output tax.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ignoring_reconciliation_of_GSTR_3B_GSTR_1\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Ignoring reconciliation of GSTR 3B &amp; GSTR 1<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A GSTR Registered person is making a big mistake if he does not match his GSTR 3B and GSTR 1 returns on a regular basis. Before filing GST returns, each person should double-check that their GSTR 3B and GSTR 1 reports are matched on a monthly basis. For example, if a person declares sales of Rs. 2 crore in his GST return for the month of May 2020 and sales of Rs. 2.50 crore in his GSTR 1 for the same month, he may face unnecessary litigation with the GST department.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoiding_GSTR_2A_before_claiming_ITC_on_GSTR_3B_return\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Avoiding GSTR 2A before claiming ITC on GSTR 3B return<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>According to the GST Rule 36(4) under the GST law, Irrespective of how many invoices he has, he can only claim an ITC credit of 110 % of qualifying ITC shown on form GSTR 2A OR iitc as per books, whichever is lower.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31137\" src=\"https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/5-common-mistake-.jpeg\" alt=\"5 common mistakes under gst \" width=\"877\" height=\"1178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/5-common-mistake-.jpeg 877w, https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/5-common-mistake--223x300.jpeg 223w, https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/5-common-mistake--762x1024.jpeg 762w, https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/5-common-mistake--768x1032.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/5-common-mistake--800x1075.jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 877px) 100vw, 877px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feeding_wrong_Invoice_details_at_the_time_of_Filling_the_GSTR_1_return\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Feeding wrong Invoice details at the time of Filling the GSTR 1 return<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>When the recipient of goods and\/or services provides his GST number to the supplier of goods and\/or services, the supplier is required to submit invoice-by-invoice details of the recipient.<\/li>\n<li>The recipient can claim input tax credit from the GST tax paid to the supplier so because invoice details provided by the supplier in GSTR 1 are auto-populated in form GSTR 2A.<\/li>\n<li>If the supplier feeds the wrong invoice and\/or fails to report the invoice, the recipient may be denied the input tax credit for the invoice that was erroneously reported in the GSTR 1 return.<\/li>\n<li>While Feeding Including B2B sales in sales of B2C.<\/li>\n<li>Feeding incorrect invoice No.<\/li>\n<li>Incorrectly Feeding &amp; showing IGST tax as CGST and SGST &amp; vice versa.<\/li>\n<li>Feeding an wrong date.<\/li>\n<li>Above mentioned GSTR mistakes in GSTR 1 returns can be corrected right of the recipient to book ITC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Categorising_Zero_Rated_Nil_rated_supply_the_same_or_vice_versa\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Categorising Zero Rated &amp; Nil rated supply the same or vice versa<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Many people are confusing zero-rated and nil-rated supplies.
