As per these provisions treatment of tax\/duty paid on goods returned after the implementation of GST depends on the following conditions;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Goods were removed or sold not being earlier than 6 months directly preceding the appointed date i.e. 1st July 2017.<\/li><li>These goods are returned within 6 months from the appointed date.<\/li><li>These returned goods are identifiable to the satisfaction of the proper officer.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If all the above-stated conditions are satisfied, then the treatment of such duty or taxes paid can be segregated into two categories, they are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If goods are returned by a person registered under GST, then it will be considered as deemed supply. And the supplier can&rsquo;t get a refund of the duty paid by him on such goods. Here the buyer can claim<strong>&nbsp;ITC<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ITC_Limited\">[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/strong>&nbsp;as per the existing laws and can even carry it forward.<\/li><li>If goods are returned by any person not registered under GST, then the seller will be eligible to claim a refund of the tax paid on such returned goods.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Goods Sent on Approval Basis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we will discuss the provisions relating to goods sent on approval basis before the implementation of GST. These provisions are stated under Sub-section (12) of Section 142. This section specifies the following preconditions to be satisfied in order to be eligible to be considered under transition under GST laws:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Goods sent on approval basis not being earlier than 6 months directly preceding the appointed date i.e. 1st July 2017.<\/li><li>These goods are returned on or within 6 months from the appointed date i.e. 1<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;July 2017. This period of 6 months can be extended for a period of 2 months by the commissioner.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If all the above-stated conditions are satisfied, then the treatment of such duty or taxes on such goods sent on approval basis can be segregated into two categories, they are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If goods returned within a specified period of 6 months: Then no tax is required to be paid on such returned goods.<\/li><li>If goods not returned within a specified period of 6 months: Then the seller and buyer returning such goods both will be liable to pay tax on such returned goods.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the implementation of GST, businesses are worried regarding the taxability of goods sent on approval basis before GST and returned goods after its implementation.
