India – Goods and Service Tax

We wish to highlight below GST Section with regards to the services provided by Hapag-Lloyd.

“Section 34 (2) of CGST Act prescribes that credit notes issued against invoices raised during the period July 2017 to March 2018 cannot be reported in the GSTR1 after filing the return for September 2018 or the annual return for FY 2017-18; whichever is earlier.”

Therefore the credit notes, if any, pertaining to invoices raised during the period July 2017 to March 2018 should be reported in the GST returns before September 30, 2018.

Accordingly, any errors/omissions in GST returns should be rectified before the above-prescribed timelines.

To adhere to the above timelines we request you to kindly revert with your GST queries on or before September 10, 2018 (EOD) at below mail ID - [email protected]

Please note any query received after September 10, 2018 will not be considered and Hapag-Lloyd will not be liable for any GST loss that may occur as a consequence.
