Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Tax Management work center.
- Under Tax Returns select VAT Returns.
- Show All Tax Returns and select your reported Tax Return X which is of Tax Return Type: GSTR-2.
- Select the Tax Return ID line and click on Pay.
Cause
VAT returns which are of GSTR-1 and GSTR-2 are not payment relevant so, when ever you try to pay them you get this error message.
- Go to Tax Management work center.
- Under Tax Authorities select Company Tax Arrangements.
- Edit the Tax Authority and navigate to Company Tax Arrangements tab and to the subtab Tax Return Arrangements tab.
- For the Tax Return Type: GSTR-1 and GSTR-2 you can see Payment Relevant is not marked and only for GSTR-3 it is marked as Payment Relevant.
Resolution
When you execute the GSTR-1 & GSTR-2, there is a reconciliation that happens. After that total payable/receivable gets calculated at GSTN level.
You then need to run GSTR-3 to close particular tax lines in ByD system. Thats when, your GSTR-3 status is reported and you can choose to Pay this and with this system will derive at the total pay/receivable amount at the GSTN level.
