One of the key challenges of the erstwhile tax regime was that the levy of taxes had a cascading effect. In the GST regime, this was sought to be remedied by allowing input tax credit, commonly known as ITC, on procurements. In the module on ITC, you would have learnt that ITC can only be availed if the supplier has furnished the details of the invoice in their statement of outward supplies and has paid the tax to the Government. This requires the recipient to reconcile the details of their procurements with the details furnished by the supplier on the GST portal. This reconciliation is called ‘vendor reconciliation’. In this module, we shall discuss the legal requirement and the detailed process for such reconciliation. We shall also highlight the key aspects and practical challenges faced during such reconciliation.
