Status of Returns Filed
Every Taxpayer needs to file returns to the Government on monthly and/or quarterly basis. The return to be filed also depends on the type of taxpayer. The key returns currently being filed by a Regular Taxpayer are
- GSTR 1 – Details of outward supplies (i.e. sales). Taxpayers having turnover below INR 1.5 cr have an option to go for quarterly filing. All other taxpayers, need to file on a monthly basis.
- GSTR 3B – Monthly summary of sales, input tax credit availed, tax liability and settlement.
There could be other returns filed on need basis such for transferring transitional credit, claiming TDS/TCS credits, submitting job work details etc.
Similarly other taxpayer types such as ISD, Casual Taxpayer, UIN holder, Tax Deductor, Tax Collector etc. have a different set of returns. For example, CMP 08 is a Quarterly return filed by taxpayers who have opted for Composition scheme.
