Total amount of expenditure incurred during the year<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B. Expenditure in respect of entities registered under GST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C. Expenditure related to entities not registered under GST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the expenditure in respect of entities registered under GST is further sub-classified into four categories as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a) Expenditure relating to goods or services exempt from GST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b) Expenditure relating to entities falling under the composition scheme<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>c) Expenditure relating to other registered entities<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>d) Total payment to registered entities<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.4. Colum 2 says \u201cTotal amount of Expenditure incurred during the year\u201d so shall we report head-wise \/ nature wise expenditure?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p>Ans: The heading of the table which starts with the words \u201cBreakup of total expenditure\u201d and hence the total expenditure including purchases as per the above format may be given. It appears that head-wise \/ nature wise expenditure details are not envisaged in this clause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is recommended to take head wise\/nature wise expenditure details as a part of working paper of the Audit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.5. What are the Expenditure relating to other registered entities (column 5)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ans: The value of all inward supplies from registered dealers, other than supplies from composition dealers and exempt supply from registered dealers, are to be mentioned in this column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.6.&nbsp; What is the meaning of \u201cTotal payment to registered entities (column 6)\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ans: The language used in sub-heading of column 6 is total\u2019 payment\u2019 to registered entities. The word \u2018payment\u2019 should harmoniously be interpreted as \u2018expenditure\u2019 as the combined heading of columns (3), (4), (5) is \u2018Expenditure in respect of entities registered under GST\u2019. Hence, the total expenditure in respect of registered entities i.e., sum total of values reported in columns (3), (4) and (5) should be reported in Column 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.7.
