Any business or individual registered under GST in India is required to file GST returns, especially if their annual turnover exceeds the threshold set by tax authorities.
A GST Return is a mandatory document that all businesses registered under GST must submit. It contains detailed information about a business's income and expenses, essential for tax authorities to determine the taxpayer's net tax liability.
The GST framework includes 13 different types of returns that cater to various financial transactions. Not all taxpayers need to file every return; it depends on their specific business category and GST registration.
Missing a filing deadline results in penalties and may prevent you from filing subsequent returns until the missed ones are submitted. You can file GST returns easily through Bharat Efilings.
Late filing of GST returns incurs penalties and interest. The late filing fee is ₹100 per day for each CGST and SGST, capped at ₹5,000. Additionally, late tax payments incur an 18% per annum interest charge.
GSTR-1 is a return filed monthly or quarterly to report a business's outward supplies (sales). Businesses with an annual turnover over ₹5 crore must file it monthly by the 11th of the following month, while others can file quarterly by the 13th of the following month.
