First let us understand what is ITC Reversal & what are situations that may arise.

What is ITC Reversal ?

ITC Reversal means reversal of ITC along with 18% interest on it which has been already claimed by recipient in his GSTR-3B as input for purchase of goods /services.

As per Sec 16(2) where a recipient fails to pay to the supplier, the amount towards the value of supply of goods or services along with tax within period of 180 days from the date of issue of invoice, an amount equal to the input tax credit availed by the recipient shall be added to his output tax liability, along with 18% interest.

Let us understand through an example.

For Example:

ABC Ltd. sold goods to XYZ Ltd. worth Rs 1,000 + GST @ 18% i.e. Rs.180 on 30/03/2019. XYZ ltd has availed credit on 20/04/2019 (date on which GST 3B of Mar 2019 has to be filed). But failed to pay the total invoice amount (1180) to the supplier till September 2019 ie, within 180 days. So XYZ Ltd. has to reversal, ITC already availed along with 18% interest in September month GSTR-3B

Calculation of ITC Reversal

ITC Reversal = (Tax Amount/ Invoice Value) * Unpaid amount

Following are the cases which may arise on ITC Reversal

• Paid only Taxable value (tax amount pending).
• Paid only Tax amount (taxable value pending).
• Didn’t pay any amount.
• Paid partly.

Let us discuss briefly each cases regarding ITC Reversal & Interest

Invoice value Rs.1180	Amount Paid within 180 days of Invoice date
Taxable value Rs.1000	Rs.1000 paid	Unpaid (Nil)	Unpaid (Nil)	Partly Rs.500
Tax amount @ 18% Rs.180	Unpaid (Nil)	Rs.180 Paid	Unpaid (Nil)	Partly Rs.90
ITC to be reversed	180/1180*180	180/1180*1000	180/1180*1180	180/1180*590
ITC Reversal Amount	27.48	152.54	1180	90

Calculation of Interest on ITC Reversal

Interest = {ITC Reversal Amount x 18% x (As on date – invoice date)} /365

Interest @ 18%	27.48*18%*184/365	152.54*18%*184/365	1180*18%*184/365	90*18%*184/365
	2.49	13.84	107.07	107.07

Can ITC reversal be claimed again?

Yes, ITC Reversal can be claimed back on total payment of invoice value to vender but interest on ITC Reversal can’t be claimed back in GSTR-3B as ITC.
