Inward Supplies in GSTR 4

Is it mandatory to furnish inward details in GSTR 4(Annual Return)?

[su_highlight background=”#fa8e99″]YES, it is mandatory to furnish the inward details in GSTR 4 (Annual Return).[/su_highlight] Let’s clear the air that has been created for furnishing inward supply details in GSTR 4. It certainly may not be a cakewalk to furnish the details of inward supply but it is not that difficult too as composition taxpayers are just required to provide the total figures rate-wise corresponding to the GSTIN i.e supplier-wise.  Due date of GSTR 4

What is the purpose of asking for details of inward supplies from a composition taxpayer?

Generally, the small taxpayers who wish to pay tax at a concessional rate with the least compliance burden opt for the composition scheme u/s 10. We are all aware composition taxpayers are not eligible to claim the input tax credit of the taxes paid on inward supplies. But still, it is mandatory for them to provide the details of inward supplies. (Note: Upto FY 2021-22 details of inward supplies from registered suppliers did not auto-populate in GSTR 4.) Though the same can be verified in Form GSTR 4A.

As they do not get the credit of taxes paid on inward supplies, Government only asks to provide details of the total figures rate-wise corresponding to the GSTIN i.e supplier-wise.  It is also possible that the Government intends to cross-check whether suppliers of composition taxpayers have reflected the same correctly in their GST returns.

The total actual outward supply may be the same as it was declared during the financial year while furnishing Form CMP 08  as reflected in Table 5.
