For Whom the Plan is

GST return filing is required for various entities and individuals who are registered under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in India. Here’s a breakdown of who needs to file GST returns:

  • Registered Taxpayers: Any business or individual who has obtained GST registration is required to file GST returns. This includes businesses engaged in trading, manufacturing, providing services, or any other taxable supply of goods or services.
  • Regular Taxpayers: Regular taxpayers, whose aggregate turnover exceeds the prescribed threshold limit (which varies based on the nature of the business and state), need to file regular GST returns.
  • Composition Scheme Dealers: Taxpayers opting for the composition scheme under GST are required to file quarterly returns using Form GSTR-4. However, they are not required to provide detailed invoices for their sales.
  • E-commerce Operators: E-commerce operators or aggregators facilitating the supply of goods or services through their platforms are required to file GST returns. They need to file Form GSTR-8, which provides details of supplies made through the platform.
  • Input Service Distributors (ISD): ISDs, who receive invoices for input services and distribute input tax credit to other business verticals within the same entity, are required to file GST returns using Form GSTR-6.
  • Non-Resident Taxpayers: Non-resident taxpayers supplying goods or services in India are required to file GST returns, albeit under a different mechanism than regular taxpayers.
  • Casual Taxable Persons: Individuals or businesses operating temporarily in India, without having a fixed place of business, are considered casual taxable persons. They are required to file GST returns for the duration of their operations.
  • Government Entities: Various government entities, including Central and State Government departments, agencies, and local authorities, that are liable to deduct tax at source (TDS) or collect tax at source (TCS) under GST are required to file returns accordingly.

It’s important for all registered taxpayers to comply with GST return filing requirements to avoid penalties and ensure smooth functioning of their businesses under the GST regime. Non-compliance with GST return filing obligations can lead to penalties, interest charges, and other legal consequences. Therefore, it’s advisable to stay updated with GST regulations and file returns accurately and on time.

Documents Required

The documents required for GST return filing typically include:

  • Sales Invoices: Invoices issued for the sale of goods or services during the tax period. These invoices should contain details such as the GSTIN of the supplier and recipient, invoice number, date, description of goods or services, quantity, value, and applicable taxes.
  • Purchase Invoices: Invoices received for the purchase of goods or services during the tax period. Similar to sales invoices, purchase invoices should include all relevant details required for claiming input tax credit (ITC).
  • Bank Statements: Bank statements showing transactions related to sales, purchases, and tax payments made or received during the tax period. Bank statements help reconcile financial transactions with the GST returns filed.
  • Credit and Debit Notes: Credit notes issued for sales returns or adjustments and debit notes received for purchase returns or adjustments during the tax period.
  • Import/Export Documents: Documents such as shipping bills, bill of entry, and export invoices for import and export transactions, including details of IGST paid or refunded.
  • Input Tax Credit (ITC) Register: A register maintained to record input tax credit availed on purchases or expenses. This register should reconcile with the ITC claimed in the GST returns.
  • Tax Payment Challans: Challans or proof of tax payments made for GST liability, including details of tax paid under various heads such as CGST, SGST, IGST, and cess.
  • Advance Receipts and Advances Paid: Documents related to advance receipts from customers or advances paid to suppliers, along with adjustments made during the tax period.
  • E-way Bills: E-way bills generated for the movement of goods exceeding specified thresholds within or outside the state, where applicable.
  • Books of Accounts: Maintaining proper books of accounts, including ledgers, journals, cash books, and other accounting records, is essential for accurate GST return filing.
  • GST Registration Certificate: A copy of the GST Registration certificate issued by the authorities, which contains details such as GSTIN, legal name of the business, and effective date of registration.
  • Any Other Relevant Documents: Depending on the nature of business activities and transactions, additional documents such as rental agreements, service contracts, insurance policies, etc., may be required for GST return filing.

It’s crucial to maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all financial transactions and documents to ensure compliance with GST laws and facilitate smooth GST return filing processes. Additionally, consulting with Taxgaol.in professional can help ensure that all necessary documents are in order for GST return filing.
