GST Return filings
Once the businesses have a valid GST registration number, then irrespective of the threshold limit they have to file GST returns.
A GST return is a document containing details of all income/sales and/or expense/purchase which a taxpayer (every GSTIN) is required to file with the tax administrative authorities. This is used by tax authorities to calculate net tax liability.
Under GST, a registered dealer has to file GST returns that broadly include:
- Purchases.
- Sales.
- Output GST (On sales).
- Input tax credit (GST paid on purchases).
Who is required to file GST Returns?
GST Return filing in India is to be done by the following:
- A person having a valid GSTIN has to compulsorily file the GST returns.
- a person whose annual turnover is crossing Rs. 20 lakh has to obtain a GST registration and file the GST returns mandatorily.
- In the cases of Special states, the limit for the annual turnover is Rs.10 lakh.
