Want to Claim Refund of Tax paid on Sales Invoices of Restaurants/Shopping

[moezextra]

Dear Experts,

I am filing returns of 2018-19 where I have entered extra income tax paid to be refunded. I have done that but I would also like to claim 17% GST tax that I paid on various restaurants/shops. I have receipts of all those shopping for the year of 2018-19 but I am unable to find any field in the "Adjustable Tax" where I have entered other additional income to be claimed. Just want to know how to claim these GST taxes.

Brother I think, being salaried person and income tax payer & filer, you can only claim advance tax, income tax, with holding tax, advance income tax, etc. returns. Sales tax seems an exception to me in this case.

May be, Sales tax adjustment is for business and is only adjustable there, and they have separate forms. Sales tax filers and income tax filers are also separate categories. But only, an expert can better guide and confirm.

Mind sharing the head of account / category, where you mentioned this amount?

sales tax is adjustable only for buy & sale. There is no refund or adjustment for the end user.

Only With Holding Tax is adjustable in annual tax returns

I see. So it means that salaried persons cannot claim 17% GST tax paid at restaurants/shops. That's not good. I was expecting that there would be some field in the Adjustable tax where we can claim this.

I have entered total tax deducted in the field which mentions: u/s 149 of "Adjustable Tax" field under Tax/Payments section while filing returns. Then in computations, IRIS will calculate your refunded tax.

That means we as users cannot claim 17% GST paid at restaurants/shops. So, we should not keep record of receipts we get at restaurants/shops when we cannot claim the GST tax paid.

Yes don't waste time collecting these reciepts as sales tax/vat is not refundable for end user in almost all countries of the world.
