GST Return Filing: An Overview

As part of the GST regime, businesses have to file their returns monthly, quarterly, and annually using the GST portal maintained by the Government of India. They must provide details of the sales and purchases of goods and services as well as the taxes collected and paid for GST Return Filing.

The GST return is a document where the taxpayer (each GSTIN) reports all income, sales, expenses, and purchases submitted to the tax authority. Tax authorities use this to calculate their net tax liability.

Under GST, a registered dealer has to file GST returns that broadly include:

  • Purchases
  • Sales
  • Output GST (On sales)
  • Input tax credit (GST paid on purchases)

A comprehensive income tax system in India, such as GST, will ensure that taxes are processed transparently and straightforwardly. Individuals will file GST returns on four forms: supplies, purchases, monthly returns, and annual returns. Those who have opted for a composition scheme will have to file quarterly returns. The filing of all returns will be done online.

What are the benefits of GST Return Filing?

GST eliminates cascade effects

In the past, tax on tax was often paid for a single transaction. GST eliminated several taxes such as central excise duty, service tax, customs duty, and state-level value-added tax, so you are no longer subject to paying taxes on taxes. You save money this way.

Organized system

The tax filing system was disorganized before GST. As a result of introducing GST, all taxes are now paid online, and significant hassles associated with filing taxes have been eliminated.

Seamless flow of ITC

A supplier's tax already paid is deducted from its tax liability. It is possible to pass on the Input Tax Credit to the buyer only if the tax paid and collected transaction is recorded by filing a return by both parties. If a return is not filed on time, the registered person cannot claim the input credit.

Avoid penalties and interest.

For each day the return is delayed until the actual filing date, the taxpayer will be charged a late fee of Rs. 50. To avoid such heavy penalties, the return must be filed as soon as possible. To avoid the late fee of Rs.20 for each day the return is delayed, even taxpayers with no tax liability must file their returns. The outstanding tax is subject to 18% interest per annum.

Here Are Some Frequently Asked Questions

Every registered taxpayer must file GSTR-1 every month. The QRMP scheme, on the other hand, requires you to file quarterly returns only.

Each month, GST has to be paid by the due date. Paying GST is the first step, followed by filing returns.

GST registered persons are required to obtain an EWay Bill when they move goods via vehicles over Rs. 50,000 in value. The e-Way Bill Portal (https://ewaybillgst.gov.in/) allows you to register for e-Way bills.

GST considers any supply of taxable goods or services as a taxable event, whether for a consideration or not. These include sales, transfers, barter, exchanges, licenses, rentals, leases, and disposal.

QRMP is available to registered taxpayers with a turnover of less than or equal to 5 crores in the previous financial year. By adopting this scheme, businesses will be allowed to file quarterly rather than monthly. Every month, taxes must be paid.

GST returns cannot be revised. Therefore, it is advised to hire professionals to file your taxes. There can be changes made to the information in the next period's amendment section.

To upload the return, the prescribed information from the invoices, including the HSN codes for the suppliers of the goods and the accounting codes for the suppliers of the services, must be included. During the reporting period, you must have information on any sales, purchases, and expenditures that occurred.

A client is required to provide transactional details every month. In the filingbee shared format, this must be done manually. One can also opt to extract data from the accounting software (GST Ready Software), and after a thorough review, the experts will file the GST return.

You must file the GSTR-8 return if you allow suppliers to sell goods and services through your site. Individuals who use their website to sell their products or services need not file this return. Before the 10th of next month, the GSTR-8 must be filed.

Make sure your GSTR-2 includes the purchase. The GSTR-1A of your vendor will reflect the mismatch between your GSTR-1 and GSTR-2. Your vendor will be able to update their GSTR-1 and GSTR-1A and identify any mismatches between their GSTR-2 and the GSTR-1A. You will receive an automatic update to your GSTR-1 once your vendor accepts the changes shown in the GSTR-1A.
