WHAT ARE GOODS AND SERVICE TAX (GST)
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a value-added tax levied on most goods and services sold for domestic
consumption. It is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax that replaces various previous
indirect taxes, including VAT, service tax, and excise duty. GST is collected at each stage of the
production and distribution cycle, with the final burden falling on the end customer. It aims to
simplify the tax structure, develop a unified national market, and boost compliance. GST is divided into
three components: Central GST (CGST), State GST (SGST) within states, and Integrated GST (IGST) for
interstate transactions.
MEANING OF GST RETURN FILING
GST return filing refers to the process by which registered taxpayers must file returns for Goods and
Services Tax (GST) every month. A ‘return' is stated as the paperwork that a taxpayer is required to
file in accordance with the tax authorities. These returns provide details of the income, sales,
purchases, and taxes paid and collected. Filing GST returns is mandatory and ensures compliance with the
tax laws. It involves declaring details such as outward and inward supplies, tax liability, and input
tax credit. There are different types of GST returns that must be filed monthly, quarterly, or annually,
depending on the business turnover and type.
Every individual registered under the new regime of GST would need to file timely returns. Even if a
legal entity has no ongoing activity, it must file returns as ‘GST nil returns' to avoid GST compliance
issues.
BENEFITS OF GST RETURN FILING
- Greater Tax Base
- Lower taxes, subsuming of taxes
- Ease of doing Business
- Unified Platform
GST return is a document that consists of all the details of income/sales, expense/purchase of any
tax-paying individual or company. One must file their GST return with the tax administrative authority,
according to the GST return filing consultants. The net tax liability of a person is calculated by the
tax authorities with a GST return. In the GST regime, any regular business with more than 5 crores of
annual aggregate turnover is obliged to file 2 monthly returns and 1 annual return. This totals about 26
GST return filings in a year. However, under the QRMP scheme, the number of GST filings may vary
quarterly for GSTR-1 filers. For them, the number of return filings in a year is 9 (this also includes
GSTR 3B and annual return). Special cases such as composition dealers have separate returns that need to
be filed. They are required to file 5 GSTR return filings in a year. Many businesses opt for GST return
filing services to ensure accuracy and compliance.

Late fee & Penalty for delayed GST return filing
Filing GSTR-3B is mandatory. Even if a business has no transactions during any month, it will still have
to file a “NIL Return”.
From June 2021 onwards, the late fees will be levied and capped as follows:
- For Nil tax liability, the penalty is Rs. 20 per day and maximum Rs. 500
- For others the penalty is Rs. 50 per day and maximum charges may vary depending on the Annual
Aggregate Turnover (AATO)
- The maximum penalty for AATO upto 1.5 crores is ?2000
- The maximum penalty or AATO between 1.5 to 5 crores the charges are Rs. 5000
- The maximum penalty for AATO above 5 crores the charges are Rs. 10000
Interest is 18% per annum. It must be calculated by the taxpayer on the amount of outstanding tax to be
paid. The time period will be from the next day of GST return filing to the date of payment.
In case of nil GSTR-3B filing, the maximum late fee charged will be Rs.500 per return (i.e. Rs.
250/- each for CGST & SGST). The maximum penalty is Rs. 10,000 (if the turnover is more than 5
crores). There is no late fee on IGST.
