Types of GST Returns All Form Details - Once More Agen
Types of GST Returns
GST return is a format where a taxpayer registered under the
Goods and Services Tax (GST) law has to file for each registration separately.
Also, the number of GST returns to be filed will be based on the type of
taxpayer, such as regular taxpayer, composition dealer, e-commerce operator,
TDS deductor, non-resident taxpayer, Input Service Distributor(ISD) etc.
Usually, a regular taxpayer has to file two returns per month (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B)
and an annual return (GSTR-9/9C) for each GST registration separately.
There is a 4-tier GST structure for all the goods and services. The GST is calculated based on this structure. The 4 tax structures are 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%. There are also some goods and services that are exempt from paying any GST. There is a separate GST rate of 3% on precious metals like gold and silver.
GSTR – Return for Outward Supplies
GSTR-1 is a monthly return of outward supplies undertaken by a normal registered taxpayer under GST. In other words, this monthly return showcases the sales transactions of a business in a particular month.
GSTR – 2 Return for Inward Supplies
GSTR-2 is a monthly return of inward supply of goods and services as agreed by the recipient of the goods and services. In other words, GSTR-2 contains details with regards to the purchases made by the recipient in a particular month. The information contained in GSTR-2 is auto-populated with the details contained.
GSTR – 3B: Summary of Inward and Outward Supplies
GSTR 3B is a simplified monthly summary return of inward and outward supplies. It is a self declaration showcasing the summary of GST liabilities of the taxpayer for the tax period in question. Moreover, it helps the taxpayer to discharge the tax liabilities in a timely manner.
GSTR-3B is a form that cannot be revised. Furthermore, this form does not require the compliance of comparing invoices between supplier and purchaser. That means both the suppliers and the recipients file the GSTR-3B form separately. Therefore, such a facility does not cause delays in filing of returns which would consequently attract late fees and interest.
GSTR-4 / CMP-08
GSTR-4 is
the return that was to be filed by taxpayers who have opted for the Composition
Scheme under GST. CMP-8 is the return which has replaced the now erstwhile
GSTR-4. The Composition Scheme is a scheme in which taxpayers with turnover up
to Rs.1.5 crores can opt into and pay taxes at a fixed rate on the turnover
declared.
The
CMP-08 return is to be filed on a quarterly basis.
GSTR-5
GSTR-5 is
the return to be filed by non-resident foreign taxpayers, who are registered
under GST and carry out business transactions in India. The return contains
details of all outward supplies made, inward supplies received, credit/debit
notes, tax liability and taxes paid.
The
GSTR-5 return is to be filed monthly for each month that the taxpayer is
registered under GST in India.
GSTR-9
GSTR-9 is the annual return to
be filed by taxpayers registered under GST. It will contain details of all
outward supplies made, inward supplies received during the relevant previous
year under different tax heads i.e. CGST, SGST & IGST and HSN codes, along
with details of taxes payable and paid. It is a consolidation of all the
monthly or quarterly returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-2A, GSTR-3B) filed during that
year.
GSTR-9 is required to be filed by all taxpayers registered
under GST*, except taxpayers who have opted for the Composition Scheme, Casual
Taxable Persons, Input Service Distributors, Non-resident Taxable Persons and
persons paying TDS under section
51 of CGST Act.
*As per the CBIC notification 47/2020,
the annual
return under GST for taxpayers having an aggregate turnover which does not exceed
Rs.2 crore has been made optional for FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20.
