GST Return Filing

Overview

GST return filing is absolutely an online process in India. GST filing is a really simple and quick process. However, it is important that returns are filed rightly and error-free to assure that GST credit can be passed onto the next stage. Once your GST registration is done, filing a GST return is necessary. All registered individuals below GST are required to file various returns. Non-filing of the same causes heavy penalties. Every business entity has to file two returns every month or quarter as applicable.

Benefits

A Simple and common form for all taxes

Under the GST Act, various kinds of taxes are obtained – IGST, CGST & SGST, and all the three taxes paid or collected are needed to be registered in a single form. The online policies for GST Return are simplified and are further advised to be more simplified through one form of filing for recording all transactions.

Eliminates the Cascading Effect

The start of GST into the Indian tax system has eliminated several other taxes like central excise duty, service tax, customs duty, and state-level value-added tax. Thus, a single GST has removed the cascading effect of tax on tax.

Startup Gains

Before GST, startups with an annual turnover of 5 lakh had to pay VAT which was very challenging for a startup through the initial phases. GST has restored VAT where businesses can set off the service tax on their sales.

Proposes Higher Compliance rating

To see the compliance arrangement, the GST system has started the mechanism of compliance rating. This is where all the registered entities/individuals are given grading based on their stability of fulfilling the compliance and return of taxes. The rating of entity’s/individual’s compliance is openly available on the website and an individual taxpayer is ranked with more eminent compliance ratings.

Documents Required

DSC of Authorized Partner or Director, in case of LLP and Company only

GST Registration Certificate

Details of the inward and outward taxable supplies along with the invoice details
