GST TRAN-2 return is filed by a dealers who are currently registered under GST but were previously unregistered VAT/Excise.
Henceforth, these dealers do not have invoices with VAT or excise to support the claim. The Government has given provision for transitional input for such dealers in GST TRAN-2.
So, GST TRAN-2 will not be filed by manufacturers or service providers.
Those dealer/traders opting for GST TRAN-2 will file this return at the end of each month
A dealer should match the following conditions:
- Goods in stock are not NIL or fall under the exempt category under VAT and Excise.
- This scheme will be operative for 6 months starting from the 1st of July 2017 and 31st December 2017.
- Such stock need to clear within this duration of 6 months to claim the credit.
- Documentary proof is present to prove the procurement of such goods.
- Such stock of goods on which the credit is claim must be store in a way that it can easily identify.
- We have created a copy of GST TRAN-2 form in Excel to help businesses claim the credit on the pre-GST stock.
