I had placed an order with my supplier on 31-Dec-2019, but the goods were delivered on 1-Jan-2020. How do I record this transaction?

Currently, the assumption is to consider the date on which the goods have been delivered. As per this assumption, if you have recorded the voucher for intra-state transaction on 1-Jan-2020:

● The new GSTIN/UIN defined for the State of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh will appear in the respective fields of the invoice.

● CGST and SGST will be calculated for the State of Jammu & Kashmir.

● CGST and UT Tax will be calculated for the State of Ladakh.

2.

I have recorded sales prior to 1-Jan-2020, against which sales returns have happened from 1-Jan-2020. Should I charge State Tax (considering it as Jammu & Kashmir) or UT Tax (for Ladakh)?

As there is no rule available on this, it is assumed to be taxable as per the tax type applicable on the date of sales returns. Based on this assumption, the tax will be calculated as per the applicability of State tax or UT tax on the date of sales returns.

3.

I have received an advance in Dec 2019 with SGST and CGST. As CGST and UTGST are applicable from Jan 2020, how to account for sales and debit notes against this advance receipt in Jan 2020?

When advance receipts were recorded in Dec 2019, SGST and CGST were applicable. From 1-Jan-2020, when sales or debit notes are recorded against these advance receipts, UTGST and CGST would be applicable. Hence, when you record sales or debit notes on or after 1-Jan-2020 with CGST and UTGST, the transaction will appear as Mismatch in Advance in the Sales against advance from previous periods report of GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B.

The scenarios of advance receipts (of Dec 2019), and our recommendations (for sales and debit notes made against it in Jan 2020), are given below:
