GST Compliance Calendar – June 2024

As we start the month of June 2024, it’s essential for businesses in India to stay compliant with the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regulations. Our GST compliance calendar outlines the key due dates for various filings and payments to ensure that businesses adhere to the regulations and avoid penalties.

For June 2024, key GST due dates include June 10 for GSTR-7 (TDS) and GSTR-8 (TCS), June 11 for GSTR-1 (outward supplies for businesses with turnover over ₹5 crore and those opting out of QRMP), June 13 for GSTR-6 (Input Service Distributors), June 20 for GSTR-3B (summary return for all regular taxpayers and QRMP scheme participants) and GST PMT-06 (QRMP scheme payment for May 2024), June 25 for PMT-06 Challan (QRMP scheme payment for April and May 2024), and June 28 for GSTR-11 (refund claims for taxpayers with a Unique Identity Number).

To ensure smooth GST compliance, it is crucial to file returns and make payments on or before the due dates to avoid interest and penalties.

GST Compliance Calendar – August 2020

August, the month of independence, the month of festivals!

The world is moving ahead amidst the pandemic and India, along with the entire world is eyeing for the COVID-19 vaccine which can help the world heal. Until then, businesses and citizens have to bear the brunt of the current situation be it of the health-care or the economy.

Amidst the pandemic, IRIS GST has been updating our readers about all the latest happenings and upgrades in the GST law via latest circulars and notifications.

The government has announced that it may not be bringing the new returns, but an advanced version of the current GST filing system will be introduced. The changes made will be for the ease of compliance for the taxpayers. From 1st Oct 2020, turnover limit for applicability of E-Invoicing is enhanced to Entities having turnover above 500 Crores (Earlier it was INR 100 Crores). The government has also added facilities like filing NIL GSTR 3B via SMS and NIL GSTR 1 via SMS for the convenience of the taxpayers.

As many companies are struggling for GST refunds, we have prepared an in-depth collection of articles on GST Refund forms:

RFD-01 and RFD-01A – The Refund Application
Form RFD 02 – Acknowledgement to RFD-01
Form RFD 03 – The Deficiency Memo
Form RFD 04 – Provisional Refund Order
Form RFD 05 – Payment Advice
Form RFD 06 – Final Refund Order

Two other forms for Composition taxpayers have been introduced recently – ITC-03 and Annual GSTR 4. ITC-03 is for the taxpayers who have opted for Composition Scheme and have to reverse their ITC for the credit availed. And, GSTR 4 – Annual Return is live now on GST Portal and can be filed by composition scheme holders.

Another great update from the government is that both the CBIC (Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs) and CBDT (Central Board of Direct Taxes) have signed a memorandum of understanding for data exchange. This memorandum facilitates the sharing of data and information between CBDT and CBIC on an automatic and regular basis.

The Madras High Court has ruled that the time limit for availing Transitional Input Tax Credit (ITC) is mandatory in nature, not directory. Hence, the time limit prescribed to avail it under Rule 117 must be followed in a mandatory nature.

In another Maharashtra AAR, it was suggested that the GST will not be applicable on Expat’s Salary if the Indian project office (PO) of an MNC is accounting for the salary of an expatriate employee which was required under Indian Accounting Standards

The GST Collection for the month of June has seen a rise as compared to April and May. As per the government data, the GST gross revenue for June was Rs 90,917 crore. For April it was Rs 32,294 crore and Rs 62,009 crore for May. However, the June collection has seen a decline of 9 per cent compared to the same month last year due to the lockdown situation. The GST collection figures for July are awaited.

GST Compliance Calendar – June 2020

June, the sixth month of the year 2020 is already here. Lockdown 5.0 has begun and it acts differently for different parts of the country. The states are dealing with the pandemic as per the COVID-19 situations in their areas.

There were many GST changes that were implemented after the decisions made in the 39th GST Council Meeting, held on March 14, 2020. The next GST Council meeting has been apparently scheduled on June 14th 2020 wherein several new decisions will be made and released. This will be the first after the outbreak of CoronaVirus in the country. In the lockdown, many relief measures and GST Updates were announced for businesses to stay afloat. Here is a list of all the GST Updates:

In this month, on the 21st, we also celebrate International Day of Yoga led by India for the world. Talking about health, a good part of it depends upon our immune system. We have covered several yogic asanas and pranayamas to build immunity and improve one’s fitness in our 21 days Positivity WFH Dossier. It also covers #EverythingGST and ‘Book wisdom’ for our readers.

The first showers are expected soon. However, along with the sense of joy and pleasantness, this time it also accompanies concern citing the outbreak of the pandemic and the possible cyclone Nisarga forecast for Maharashtra and Gujarat. We urge all our readers to keep health in check and help each other out in this time of global crises.

It wouldn’t be wrong to call June the month of Compliance Due Dates. Since the lockdown phase, several of the GST due dates were either pushed ahead to June or their interest and late fees were waived off until 30th June. Hence, many businesses will now have to file their GST Returns citing the compliance dates are near. As this month is quite crucial, we have covered all the important due dates in a downloadable infographic.
Here is the complete calendar with all the due dates for June.

GST Compliance Calendar – May 2020

May the Force be with You!

India is currently under Lockdown 3.0 which was extended on 3rd May and will continue until 17th of May citing the Corona Virus outbreak. 2020 has not just witnessed a medical pandemic with COVID-19 but also a financial pandemic as it is widely affecting businesses, the stock-market and even the GST Collection.

Here is a GSToon depicting current economic crises.

The Crisis

Just like April, the month of May will also see a decreased GST collection.

Do read the ‘New Announcements and Notifications amidst COVID 19’ that the government released in view of the pandemic. These measures have proven to be a big relief to the taxpayers, businesses, companies and even the transporters.

IRIS GST would like to make all our readers aware of the fraud websites and fake messages on GST Refunds with links asking for personal information citing the new updates regarding GST amidst COVID-19. Please do not click any link on your WhatsApp or social media promising a refund. Visit gst.gov.in or irisgst.com for authentic GST updates.

Another big challenge that the country is facing right now is of expired E-Way Bills. So to combat the issue, Government has extended the validity of E-way bills generated on or before 24th March 2020 with expiry between 20th March- 15th April until 31st May 2020, according to Notification No. 40/2020-Central Tax.

The GST Compensation to the states has been delayed due to the lack of funds at the centre. The funds can serve as a big relief to the states to cover the losses due to the lockdown scenario.

The income tax department recently announced that businesses need not include their GST (Goods and Service Tax) and GAAR (General Anti-Avoidance Rules) Report in the income tax audit until 31st March 2021.

The month of May will see commemorative days like Mother’s Day, Technology Day and Sorry Day along with festivals like Buddha Purnima and EID AL FITR that we must celebrate staying indoors.

If you haven’t seen our #WorkFromHome initiative for the lockdown, please check it out here: #WFH Positivity Dossier wherein we share #EverythingGSTin21Days along with that we also share a yoga posture and wisdom from best self-help/business books to relieve the stress and anxiety which is natural to come up during this time.

In the May 2020 GST Compliance Calendar, we have added upcoming specified due dates for GST Returns along with Income Tax Returns. The additional information regarding these returns has been mentioned below in utmost detail for your easy reference.

GST Compliance Calendar – April 2020

The fourth month of 2020 – April has arrived and ideally, it is touted as the start of the new financial year.

However, unlike every year, April isn’t as valued as before citing the insane Corona Virus outbreak not just in the country but globally! It is a world-wide pandemic situation and the world is fighting against the crisis with all its might.

The Indian government has taken a huge step to combat the situation with a 21-day lockdown which was announced from 25^th of March and is set to get over by April 14. However, all the state and even the central government have been stating that the lockdown may either extend or even if it gets lifted, the restrictions will remain on movement in order to control the spread of the virus.

On the GST front, the government had seen a sharp drop in the collections in March and it will continue further in April considering the lockdown condition. Our finance ministry has taken some relief measures for MSMEs, businesses and companies along with transporters.

To tackle the economic impact of COVID-19, the government has announced several extension of due dates of GST Returns for the month of March, April and May 2020. Most of the filing dates have been pushed to June 30. The date for opting for composition scheme has also been extended to June 30, 2020. You can read the New Announcements here

A recent news update states that the finance ministry is set to release Rs 20,000 crore in pending goods and service tax (GST) compensation to all the states soon. It is not taken from the compensation cess but from the Consolidated Fund of India, a report from Economic Times confirmed.

The government has also extended the validity of all the e-way bills till April 30, which were customary to expire between March 20 and April 15. Indeed a big relief to the industry facing issues of supplies and goods stuck in transit amidst the nationwide lockdown due to Corona.

On the IRIS GST front, our team members are working from home diligently and are available to help our clients with the regular GST and E-way Bill operations among any other assistance.

To keep ‘up the positivity’ during this global pandemic situation, IRIS GST has started an initiative named #WFH Positivity Dossier wherein we share #EverythingGSTin21Days along with that we also share a yoga posture every day to relieve the stress and anxiety which is natural to come up during this time.

With just one month to go for the year to end, we welcome the month of November.

Among the key highlights from the month of October, GST has released v0.3 of its New GSTR offline tool on a trial basis to help taxpayers familiarise with the functionalities of the tool. And in an attempt to control tax leakage, government has amended the rule 36 for ITC Claim via GST Circular 123/42/2019 . With the insertion of sub-rule (4) in Rule 36, the taxpayer’s ITC shall be capped at 20% if the details of the claimed ITC has not been uploaded by the supplier in their GSTR 1 (Eventually reflected in taxpayer’s GSTR 2A). This, on the contrary has left taxpayers in chaos.

Furthermore, hit by a major economic slowdown, major players in the auto sector saw a massive decline in their sales ranging from 2% to 37% (varying for companies), as compared to their sales in the festive season of Diwali last year.

On the sadder note, the capital city of India is struggling with dreadful pollution that has brought the whole city on hold. With the air quality deteriorated to hazardous levels in Delhi, the odd-even rule has been issued. While Delhi’s Health Minister Satyendar Jain has advised the city’s residents to avoid outdoor physical activities, especially during morning and late evening hours.
