GST Return Filing

About GST Return Filing

Once your business is registered under GST, returns have to be filed on a regular cycle whether or not you made any sales. The figures you report flow through to your customers' input tax credit, so errors or delays can affect them as well as you.

We prepare your returns from your sales and purchase records, match your input tax credit against the auto-generated GSTR-2B statement, point out mismatches, and file only after you have reviewed the summary and the tax payable.

• Regular GST-registered businesses filing monthly returns
• Small taxpayers who have opted for the quarterly QRMP scheme

• Businesses with pending or late returns that need to be brought up to date
• Businesses whose turnover requires an annual return to be filed

Estimated Timeline and Fees

* Timelines are indicative. They can change because of document verification, queries raised by the authority and government processing times, which are outside our control. Approval is decided by the relevant authority under applicable rules.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping nil returns in months with no sales, which can still attract late fees
• Claiming input tax credit for invoices that do not appear in GSTR-2B
• Reporting different sales figures in GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B
• Entering an incorrect customer GSTIN, which affects the customer's credit
• Not reversing credit on expenses where input tax credit is blocked
• Leaving the annual return until the reconciliation has become difficult
