👉 Gst important amendments/ notifications issued on 09-10-19  :-

1. Business enterprise having aggregate turnover upto Rs 1.50 Cr shall furnish GSTR 1 return upto 31st Jan 2020 ( for Quarter Oct - Dec 2019) and by 30th April 2020 ( for Quarter Jan - March 2020)

2. For rest of Business enterprise, the last date of furnishing monthly GSTR 1 return shall be 11th of the succeeding month.

3. GSTR 3B shall be regarded as return filed under GST. Till this ammendment was done, GSTR 3B was not a monthly return but a summary return. But the govt has ammended the law from 1st July 2017 and made GSTR 3B as a regular monthly Return. Thus the judgement of Gujrat High Court, which allowed business enterprise to claim ITC upto filing of Annual return, has been negated.

4. Business enterprise will now be able to claim ITC on invoice or debit note which are not appearing in their GSTR 2A  subject to conditions that it shall not exceed 20% of the total eligible ITC as appearing in their GSTR 2A.
This is a major change GST and now every business enterprise has to constantly keep eye on GSTR 2A for taking ITC.

5. Gstr 1, 3B, 7 dates prescribed for J&K State for July/ Aug 19.

6. Person cannot issue tax invoice during the period of suspension. Format of DRC 01A prescribed.

7. Annual return made optional for 2017-18,18-19.
