Navigating the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime is crucial for businesses operating in India. Filing GST returns accurately and timely ensures compliance and facilitates the seamless flow of input tax credit. This guide provides a detailed overview of GST return filing, including its significance, types, step-by-step filing process, and the importance of timely compliance.
A GST return is a document that GST-registered taxpayers must file with the tax authorities, detailing all income/sales and expenses/purchases. These returns enable tax authorities to calculate the taxpayer's net tax liability.
Every business registered under GST is mandated to file returns, regardless of turnover or profitability during the return period. The frequency and type of returns depend on the nature of the business and its annual aggregate turnover:
Regular Taxpayers: Businesses with an annual turnover exceeding ₹5 crore must file two monthly returns (GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B) and one annual return (GSTR-9), totaling 25 returns annually.
QRMP Scheme: Taxpayers with a turnover up to ₹5 crore can opt for the Quarterly Return Filing and Monthly Payment (QRMP) scheme, requiring nine returns annually—four each of GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, plus one annual return
