GST Return Filing

Businesses registered under GST must file monthly, quarterly, and annual returns through the Government of India's GST portal, depending on the type of business. They must report the sales and purchases of products and services, as well as the taxes collected and paid. Individual taxpayers must file four types of GST returns: returns for supply, returns for purchases made, monthly returns, and yearly returns. GST return filing is required in India for all entities with a valid GST registration, regardless of their business activity, sales, or profitability during the reporting period.

Benefits

    Avoid penalty and interest

The taxpayer is fined a late fee of Rs 50 for each day of delay in filing the return until the actual filing date. The return must be filed as soon as possible to avoid such severe fines.

Higher compliance rating

The GST Network has implemented a compliance rating mechanism to check the compliance structure. This is where all registered persons are given ratings based on their consistency in complying with and paying taxes.

Simple form for all taxes

Three types of taxes are collected under the GST regime: IGST, CGST, and SGST. The information regarding all three taxes that have been paid or collected must be documented on a single form.

Seamless flow of ITCC

The tax that the supplier has previously paid is deducted from the taxliability. The Input Tax Credit can be passed on to the buyer if the tax paid and collected transaction is recorded through both parties filing a return.

Documents Required

  • Details of Supplies
  • Log-in credentials of the registered person
  • GST Registration Certificate
  • DSC of Authorised Partner or Director, in case of LLP and Company only
