flag FMCG distributors still face cash flow problems due to blocked input tax credits, despite recent tax changes.

flag Despite recent GST rate cuts and a new circular clarifying trade discounts and credit notes, FMCG distributors continue to face cash flow issues due to blocked input tax credits (ITC) with no refund mechanism. flag While the circular prevents ITC reversal for certain credit notes, it increases compliance demands on distributors, who still accumulate unused credits. flag A proposed CGST Act amendment may ease the burden by allowing ITC reversals without prior invoices, but it won’t take effect for about a year. flag The All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation urges uniform 5% taxation for detergents and immediate clarity on ITC handling, citing unfair pricing distortions and financial strain. flag Experts say manufacturers benefit from tax certainty, but distributors remain vulnerable until full reforms are implemented.
