CBIC ENABLES MATCHING OFFLINE TOOL TO COMPARE ITC AUTO DRAFTED IN FORM GSTR 2B WITH PURCHASE REGISTER

By

 

·       The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs ( CBIC ) has enabled the Matching Offline Tool to compare ITC auto-drafted in Form GSTR-2B with Purchase Register.

      An offline tool has been made available to the taxpayers to match Input Tax Credit (ITC), as auto-populated in their Form GSTR-2B, with their purchase register. This tool will help the taxpayer to compare their ITC as per their Purchase Register, with the ITC as shown available in their auto-drafted Form GSTR-2B, and thus help them to claim correct ITC while filing Form GSTR-3B.

To use the Matching Offline Tool, taxpayer need to :

·        Download and install the Offline tool on their system

·        Download the Form GSTR-2B JSON file from the GST portal

·        Prepare purchase register in the template provided with offline tool

·        The total number of documents to match should preferably be less than 3000 in number. 

      Steps to use the utility:

·        Download the utility from GST common portal by navigating to Downloads>Offline Tools> Matching Offline Tool

·        Open the tool. The following boxes are displayed on the Offline tool dashboard page

·     GSTR-2B

·     Import Purchase Register (PR)

·     Matching Result

·        Import the GSTR-2B JSON file, downloaded from the GST portal into the tool, by tab ‘Open downloaded JSON file’ and use it to view the same.

·        Import the purchase register data, maintained in the template provided with offline tool, using Excel or CSV format, from Import Purchase Register (PR) tile.

·        Click on the ‘Match’ button to match the above two details (c & d). The utility will match the table-wise details based on the criteria for matching selected.

  Note:

·        The ‘Match’ button will be enabled only if the purchase register has been successfully imported into the tool.

·        The matching is done on the basis of GSTIN, Document type, Document number, Document date, taxable value, total tax amount and tax amounts head wise.

·        Post matching, the user will be navigated to the ‘Matching Result’ page and the matching result will be summarized as Exact match, Partial match, Probable match, or Unmatched.

·        Once matching is complete, the taxpayer can:

·           Refine matching result

·           View summary of the matching result

·            Export the matching details to CSV file

·           Download the matching result details in excel format from offline utility.

Important points:

·        Profile of more than one GSTIN can be added in the offline tool for matching or to view GSTR-2B. Profile can be modified later on, if required.

·        Normal/SEZ Developer/SEZ unit/casual taxpayer can use this tool. They must have valid login credentials and valid GSTIN for the period, for which they intend to view and match details of Form GSTR-2B.
