Cancellation of tax invoice, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[THYAGARAJAN KALYANASUNDARAM]

Dear expert,

One of my client using SAP systems and made a invoice by yesterday and due to some discrepancies they need to cancel the invoice in same day. The invoice and the goods have not removed from the factory. Now my clarification is whether I can cancel the invoice or pass only credit note and compensate the supply invoice. Which one is correct as per the GST. Since the customer is unaware this issue. Thanks in advance.

Since is SAP generated invoice, it is better to raise credit note and knock off both the invoices in return.

IN GSTR-1 there is an option for amendment which includes credit notes, there you can knock off.

Still we have not entered the Return filing time, lets wait for better clarity. This is for the case where your material has reached customer.

If you are not working on SAP, we can ignore the invoice from sales list which is the simpler option..

However you can manually delete the Invoice from your GSTR-1, there wont be any problem even from customer side as physical movement of goods not started yet.. This is probably suitable case for you.

Yet we have to receive clarifications in this regard.

Dear sir,
