GST reconciliation is the process of matching three records: books, returns, and the GST portal. When they do not agree, ITC is lost, notices are triggered, and audits are disrupted. A professional reconciliation service ensures that the three records are aligned monthly, not just at year-end.
This article explains the reconciliation services a CA firm provides.
Monthly Reconciliation
- GSTR-2B vs purchase register: Matching every invoice to identify missing or mismatched ITC.
- GSTR-1 vs GSTR-3B: Matching outward supplies to tax paid.
- ITC ledger vs GSTR-3B: Verifying that ITC claimed matches the ledger.
Annual Reconciliation
- GSTR-9 preparation: Consolidating monthly returns.
- GSTR-9C reconciliation: Reconciling books with GST returns.
- Turnover reconciliation: Matching GST turnover with income tax returns.
Benefits of Outsourcing
- ITC leakage identification: Recovering missed credits.
- Notice prevention: Resolving mismatches before the department flags them.
- Audit readiness: Maintaining reconciliation records for departmental audit.
- Resource optimisation: Freeing internal teams for core operations.
