It's been a couple of weeks since the form GSTR-2B was introduced on the GST portal. However, GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B appear to be the same in starting. But still, there are certain distinctions in some manner. The government has now left the new return forms which were of three types of return forms – the first is normal, then Sahaj and Sugam. and settled for continuing the present return filing system of GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B with some additions and changes. The government has introduced a system in which taxpayers have to first file the form GSTR-1, then file form GSTR-2B for all input tax credits (ITC), and after that he/she needs to file form GSTR-3B in which all details from GSTR-1 and GSTR-2B will be auto-populated. Form GSTR-2B is not needed to be filed by the taxpayers. It is for information purposes only. Form GSTR-2B as opposed to GSTR-2A stays constant for a period of time. GSTR2B shall be available to all regular taxpayers. Every recipient can generate it on the basis of the GSTR-1, GSTR-5, and GSTR-6 furnished by their suppliers. The statement will clearly show document-wise details of ITC eligibility.

GSTR-2B is a fixed statement of available Input tax credit (ITC) for the taxpayer generated on the basis of Form GSTR-1, Form GSTR-5, and Form GSTR-6 filed by recipients’ counterparties before the 14th of the next month for which the statement is being rendered. Unlike Form GSTR-2A where invoices are reflected even when invoices are uploaded and saved in these returns Form GSTR-1, GSTR 5, and GSTR 6, the statement GSTR-2B will have invoices only when the separate return is filed. The statement will undoubtedly demonstrate input tax credit (ITC) available and not available for every document which is filed by any supplier for a recipient. For example, for the month of July 2020, the statement will be rendered on the 14th of August 2020.

The purchaser is permitted to claim an input tax credit (ITC) on Form GSTR-3B Based on the tax invoices furnished by the vendor/seller and discovered in his FormGSTR-2B. For a tax period, the claims can be up to 105 percent of the qualifying input tax credit in GSTR-2B.

When the suppliers or vendors successfully uploaded invoices in later tax periods, then they must be reconciled and altered.
