Jubilant FoodWorks Ltd (JFL), the quick-service restaurant operator, has received a GST show cause notice proposing a GST demand of ₹46.90 crore, according to a regulatory filing. The notice alleges that JFL reversed Input Tax Credit (ITC) in an “incorrected table” while filing its GST return. JFL, which has franchise rights for global QSR brands including Domino’s and Popeyes, says it will challenge the notice and its proposed demand. The company states that it believes the GST department’s notice does not consider the merits of the submissions it has filed. JFL says it is in the process of submitting detailed objections within the timelines set out in the show cause notice. After these filings, the company expects the impugned notice and proposed demand may be dropped. JFL also asserts that the alleged wrong presentation or classification related to ITC reversal has no financial impact on the company. The company received the show cause notice on July 13.
