GST Return Filing is the process through which businesses registered under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system report their sales, purchases, and tax liability to the government. Businesses must file GST returns periodically, which includes details of outward supplies (sales), inward supplies (purchases), and the Input Tax Credit (ITC) claimed. The returns ensure compliance with tax laws and help maintain transparency in business operations. Depending on the type of business, various forms such as GSTR-1, GSTR-3, and GSTR-9 must be filed within specified due dates. Timely filing is crucial to avoid penalties and maintain GST compliance.

GST Return Filing

Every entity registered under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Act is required to regularly report their sales, purchases, and tax credits by submitting returns to the GST Authorities. Payment of applicable taxes must precede the filing of any return to ensure its validity.
Lexprosoft Experts provide guidance on compliance under the new GST regulations. GST registration is mandatory for businesses engaged in the sale or purchase of goods or services exceeding Rs. 10 lakhs annually in northeastern and hill states, and Rs. 20 lakhs in the rest of India. All entities with GST registration are obligated to file GST returns. Filing GST returns is mandatory for all registered entities, irrespective of whether any sales activity occurred during the reporting period. Each registered taxpayer must submit three monthly returns and one annual return. Different return forms apply to taxpayers registered under the composition scheme, Input Service Distributors, and those liable for Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) or Tax Collection at Source (TCS).
For normal taxpayers, the applicable forms include:

Form GSTR-1
