    What is GST Return Filing?

    GST return is a document that furnishes information about total sales and purchases made by a person or business entity during the reporting period and the amount of tax paid on purchases (input tax) and tax collected on sales (output tax) during such period.

    The difference between tax collected and input tax credit availed is the amount of GST required to be paid when filing a GST Return. It is filed electronically on the GST Portal maintained by the Government.

    Every GST-registered person (irrespective of his turnover or transactions) has to mandatory file GST Returns periodically. A Business entity having more than Rs. 5 crores annual aggregate turnover has to file monthly GST returns (Form GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B) and annual returns (Form GSTR-9 and GSTR- 9C), whereas a business entity with turnover less than Rs. 5 crores may file the return on Quarterly basis and make payment of tax every month (known as QRMP Scheme) along with Annual Return. In addition, a business entity that has not done any kind of transaction shall also file NIL GST returns every month/quarter, as the case may be.

    Moreover, GST Returns should be generally filed under the guidance of a professional who shall have a good understanding of the GST Laws to avoid penalties and fines.

    Advantages Of GST Return Filing

    • Avoid Heavy Penalty

      Every person or business entity registered under GST must mandatorily comply with GST return filings. Filing of GST Returns on time will help a person to avoid heavy penalties.

    • Claim of Input Tax Credit (ITC)

      Under the GST mechanism, a registered business entity can claim an input tax credit of GST paid on purchase and can utilize the same for payment of taxes due on the supply of goods or services. However, a taxpayer can claim an Input Tax Credit (ITC) only after the person who collected the GST amount has properly filed the returns.

    • Builds good credibility

      A Business entity that files GST returns has better credibility and reliability amongst the purchaser, supplier, consumers, banks, financial institutions, etc. In addition, it benefits the enterprise by attracting more business and obtaining loans.

    • Necessary for GST refunds

      Specific business entities such as Exporters or suppliers to SEZ may get the refund of GST paid at the time of export supply. However, to claim this refund amount, the taxpayer has to file GST Returns for the reporting period disclosing such export transactions.

    • Seamless generation of E-way bills

      A business entity that intends to supply goods and has not filed GST returns for 2 or more consecutive periods shall not be allowed to generate an E-way bill. Therefore, filing regular GST returns is necessary for logistic purpose and seamless generation of E-way bills.
