Demystifying GSTR-1: A Comprehensive Guide for Taxpayers in India
Understanding GSTR-1:
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in India requires meticulous record-keeping and filing of returns. GSTR-1, a crucial monthly/quarterly return, plays a vital role in this process. This blog, brought to you by Registration Service, your trusted partner for GST compliance in Kota, aims to simplify GSTR-1 for you.
What is GSTR-1?
GSTR-1 is a monthly (for businesses with turnover exceeding Rs. 1.5 crore in a financial year) or quarterly (for businesses with turnover below Rs. 1.5 crore) return that summarizes a taxpayer’s outward supplies of goods and services. It essentially details all the sales you’ve made during the relevant tax period.
Who Needs to File GSTR-1?
-Registered regular taxpayers: Most businesses registered under GST, irrespective of their turnover; need to file GSTR-1.
-Taxpayers with exempt, nil, or non-resident supplies: Even if your business deals in exempt supplies (like educational services), nil supplies, or makes non-resident taxable supplies, you still need to file GSTR-1 with NIL filing.
Exemptions from Filing GSTR-1:
-Casual taxable persons: Businesses making occasional taxable supplies (below a specific threshold) are exempt from filing GSTR-1.
–Non-resident taxpayers: These taxpayers do not have a fixed establishment in India and only make occasional taxable supplies.
–Unregistered taxpayers: Businesses not registered under GST are not required to file GSTR-1.
Due Dates for Filing GSTR-1:
The due date for filing GSTR-1 depends on your filing frequency:
–Monthly filers (turnover exceeding Rs. 1.5 crore): 11th of the month following the tax period.
–Quarterly filers (turnover below Rs. 1.5 crore):
~For the quarter ending June: 10th of July.
~For the quarter ending September: 10th of October.
~For the quarter ending December: 10th of January.
~For the quarter ending March: 10th of April (following financial year).
