The new system allows taxpayers to accept, reject, or postpone bills, significantly improving the accuracy of ITC claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For companies of all sizes, the IMS has the potential to significantly lower error rates and boost overall efficiency in GST compliance.

(IMS)?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of the recently released IMS feature from GSTN, taxpayers may now handle invoices more efficiently. It enables recipients to examine supplier invoices and take appropriate action before including them in their GSTR-2B and ITC claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Recipients can use IMS to accept, reject, or hold onto an invoice so that only legitimate invoices appear in their ITC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simplify your GST journey with <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/gst-registration\" title=\"GST Registration Procedure\">GST registration services<\/a><strong> <\/strong>and ensure smooth compliance to make the most of the new Invoice Management System today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Features_of_the_Invoice_Management_System_IMS\"><\/span>Key Features of the Invoice Management System (IMS)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After logging onto the GST Portal, the IMS feature can be accessed by accessing Services &gt; Returns &gt; Invoice Management System. The IMS dashboard has two primary areas that taxpayers will find:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Internal Resources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using this area, taxpayers can inspect and take action on supplier-reported invoices in GSTR-1\/IFF\/GSTR-1A. Bills are divided into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>No Action<\/strong>: Accounts for which no action has been performed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accepted<\/strong>: Invoices that the taxpayer has authorised.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rejected<\/strong>: Bills that the taxpayer has turned down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pending:<\/strong> Bills designated for further processing at a later time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Taxpayers can manage many invoices at once by selecting, rejecting, or marking them as pending with the option to perform bulk actions. If necessary, they can also reverse any actions made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outward Supplies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon to be accessible, this part will assist taxpayers in monitoring the status of their reported external supplies according to the activities made by recipients. A filtering and search feature will also be included to make handling outbound supply data easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Date_of_Implementation_of_IMS_Under_GST\"><\/span>Date of Implementation of IMS Under GST<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The government implemented the IMS gradually to facilitate a seamless transition for taxpayers and address discrepancies between recipient returns and supplier bills. Additionally, the capability will significantly improve the GST ITC environment and be accessible to taxpayers on the GST portal on October 1, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step into the future of GST with the invoice management system launched on October 1, 2024.

Fortunately, the new IMS should lessen some of these difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suppliers Submit Invoices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The GSTR-1 form or the Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) must be submitted by the eleventh of each month. Invoice changes can be made via the GST portal&#8217;s GSTR-1A form if necessary. They can modify these until they file their GSTR-3B GST return for the relevant period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invoices Appear on the IMS Dashboard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An invoice saved and filed by the supplier can be seen on the recipient&#8217;s IMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These details include the supplier&#8217;s trade name, GSTIN identification number, invoice number, and supply type. The recipient&#8217;s subsequent GSTR-2B form submission will show these bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recipient\u2019s Action Required<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Accept<\/strong>: The approved invoice is included in your automatically generated ITC statement (GSTR 2B) on the fourteenth of each month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reject:<\/strong> Your ITC report will not include the rejected invoices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pending:<\/strong> The action on unfulfilled invoices is recorded in the GSTR-2B for the following month but is not included in the GSTR-2B for the current month. This must be completed by the 20th of next month, between when the supplier uploads the invoice and when you file your GSTR-3B. If you take action on an invoice after the 14th, you must update your draft GSTR-2 B.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Automatic Acceptance<\/strong>: If no action is taken regarding an invoice, the system &#8220;deems it accepted&#8221; and includes it in the GSTR-2 B.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Amended Invoices:<\/strong> Any modifications to a supplier&#8217;s accepted or pending invoice automatically cancel the prior invoice and replace it with the updated one. You must pay attention to this updated invoice to review it further and take the appropriate action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Information is Updated in a Flow: <\/strong>Modifications made to the supplier&#8217;s GSTR-1A will appear in your GSTR-2B and IMS but not in the statement for the following month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Using Pending Invoices<\/strong>: This implies that you may report the Input Tax Credit (ITC) on outstanding bills in any other month in the future, but you must abide by the rules outlined in CGST Act, 2017, section 16(4).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Put differently, working with IMS makes it easier to track down bills among recipients and suppliers, which makes it easier to submit ITC claims. Maintaining improved business compliance with GST and preventing the loss of credits requires considering your IMS dashboard and responding quickly to validated invoices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maximize your ITC claims with <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/gst-advisory-services\" title=\"GST Advisory Services\">GST advisory services<\/a> and simplify your invoice management by boosting compliance effortlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_Taxpayers_Manage_Invoices_and_Claim_ITCs\"><\/span>How do Taxpayers Manage Invoices and Claim ITCs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taxpayers must go through several stages to monitor inbound bills, reconcile them, and then claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) based on reconciled invoices. These actions are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gathering Information from the Purchase Register<\/strong>: First, the receiver taxpayer must collect all the information listed in their purchase register.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get GSTR-2A:<\/strong> Once suppliers file their GSTR-1 with all necessary supporting documentation, the receiver taxpayer&#8217;s GSTR-2A form contains the information on the incoming invoices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get GSTR-2B<\/strong>: The gateway creates GSTR-2 B on the fourteenth of each month. Taxpayers must also obtain this automatically created ITC statement to submit an ITC claim.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>GSTR-2A and Purchase Register Reconciliation<\/strong>: A taxpayer compares each entry in the purchase register records with the pre-filled GSTR-2A form they receive, which is provided for a month. &nbsp;The taxpayer can confirm the accuracy of the outgoing supplies by reconciling their GSTR-1 with the sales record.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reconciling GSTR-3B and GSTR-1:<\/strong> This procedure helps to compute GST liability accurately. &nbsp;GSTR-2B and GSTR-3B matching help ensure the ITC is properly utilised when paying the GST obligation. Reconciling e-way bills and invoices is also necessary for large firms to prevent discrepancies and future compliance problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Invoice_Management_System\"><\/span>Benefits of Invoice Management System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>IMS is anticipated to provide a number of advantages to both small and large enterprises upon implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Precision Auditing<\/strong>: IMS helps prevent audit errors by enabling auditors to thoroughly review each invoice without requiring them to visit several interfaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minimal Inaccuracy in GSTR-3B:<\/strong> The system provides a summary view of all incoming invoices. Therefore, before filing GSTR-3B, taxpayers do not need to worry about missing any invoices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Less Hassle with Pending Bills:<\/strong> Pending invoices do not impact GSTR-2B and 3B; they are carried forward to future tax years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accessible to QRMP Taxpayers:<\/strong> The new invoicing management system is accessible to QRMP taxpayers and will benefit small enterprises. However, it will not automatically fill out GSTR-2B for a quarter&#8217;s first and second months. Instead, it will be produced quarterly for them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_Note_for_Suppliers_Invoice_Action_Visibility\"><\/span>Important Note for Suppliers: Invoice Action Visibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppliers can directly monitor purchasers&#8217; activities on their invoices through the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00b7&nbsp;Handling Rejected Invoices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before filing GSTR 1, the supplier may correct an invoice the buyer rejects.

Records saved but not submitted will be considered &#8220;no action&#8221; committed and treated as before saving to generate a GSTR-2B report.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>Will the reverse charge documents registered suppliers send in also be included in the IMS?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">No, RCM invoices are not included in IMS; nevertheless, they will remain a part of GSTR-2B.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>What will I be able to view on the IMS as a taxpayer?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">The IMS has two different views:<br>\u00b7\u00a0<strong>Recipient view:<\/strong> A recipient taxpayer can access all designated papers filed or stored by their specific supplier through a feature called &#8220;inward supply.&#8221; The recipient can then take action with these materials.<br><strong>\u00b7<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Supplier view:<\/strong> A supplier taxpayer can observe actions made by their respective recipient on all the designated documents using the &#8220;Outward supply&#8221; view. It will soon be made accessible.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>What happens if the recipient rejects a record?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\"><strong>\u00b7<\/strong> If the recipient rejects the invoice or records it before the supplier fills out the GSTR 1, the supplier may amend it and file it with the same information. The recipient will have access to this amended record in the IMS to take appropriate action.<br><strong>\u00b7 <\/strong>After the supplier fills out GSTR 1, if the recipient rejects it, the supplier must add, amend, or record the invoice\/record in GSTR-1A or a later GSTR 1\/IFF with the same information. The recipient can take action on the amended record by accessing it in the IMS.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>What will happen to the IMS documents when the recipient files their GSTR 3B?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Upon submitting GSTR-3B for a specific period, all accepted and rejected records related to that particular GSTR-2B period will be deleted from IMS.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>What will happen to the documents that are kept pending in IMS?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Pending records shall remain in IMS until the designated cut-off date by section 16(4) of the CGST Act, 2017. Records will be deleted from IMS after the period specified in section 16(4) of the CGST Act has passed.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>Can I download all the data available in IMS?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Yes, it is possible to obtain the IMS data in Excel format.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>What is draft GSTR 2B?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Every month on the 14th, GSTR-2B will still be prepared using the same methodology as the current GSTR-2B, now referred to as draft GSTR 2B. This draft will include all rejected and accepted (or presumed accepted) records. Rejected records, in this case, are view only and won&#039;t go through GSTR-3B.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>Can I take any action after the generation of draft GSTR 2B?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Until the GSTR-3B is filed, the recipient will be permitted to act on any record found in the draft GSTR 2B. In these situations, the recipient of the GSTR-3B will need to recompute his GSTR 2B to account for activities performed after the 14th in his GSTR-3B.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>How many times can I regenerate GSTR 2B?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">No limit exists on how often such GSTR-2B can be recomputed or regenerated before filling out GSTR 3B.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>What about GSTR-2B for quarterly taxpayers?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">For quarterly taxpayers, the months M1 and M2 of the quarter will not generate GSTR-2B. On the other hand, re-computation of 2B will be permitted on or after the 14th of Q+1 month till the filing of the corresponding GSTR-3B. GSTR-2BQ for the quarter (M1, M2, and M3 combined) would be generated on that date. The reasoning for this will be the same for the monthly GSTR-2B and 3B.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>What will happen to GSTR-2A?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">GSTR-2A will keep being created in its current form.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>Is it mandatory to recompute GSTR 2B?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">If the receiver changes the IMS dashboard after the system generates the draft version of the form, GSTR 2 B must be recalculated.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>Can the supplier modify the place of supply in the GSTR 1?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Yes, the provider may modify the place of supply in the GSTR 1 within the time frame specified by the GST law. Furthermore, the recipient must reverse the ITC in Table 4B1 if the ITC becomes invalid due to a change in the supply source.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>What will happen if the recipient rejects the original amended Credit Note?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">If the relevant liability will be added to the supplier liability in the GSTR 3B of the following tax period if the recipient rejects the credit note and provides the GSTR 3B.<\/p><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Read our blog:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-check-the-gst-registration-revocation-status\/\">How to Check the GST Registration Revocation Status?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) released a recommendation to implement the Invoice Management System (IMS) as a new feature on the GST site on October 1, 2024.&nbsp; IMS seeks to create a communication channel between recipients and suppliers by adding a layer of document reconciliation and verification.&nbsp; At the 54th GST Council meeting, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":66770,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3467],"tags":[17,4469],"acf":{"service_id":"96"},"authorName":"Monisha Chaudhary","authorImageUrl":"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Monisha-Chaudhary-150x150.jpg","authorDescription":"Meet Monisha Chaudhary, a company secretary, and legal content expert with 15+ Years of Industry Experience.
